The fateful "off" moment.
It's as if all the symptoms , which until then had remained compressed inside you thanks to
Levodopa
, as if by magic they come out to shout all their strenght and turn you into a zombie. There is no gradualness. It is necessary to become good strategists of oneself.

How long off mirapex before moving on?
A friend with infrequent rls says carbidopa
levodopa
works almost instantly when symtoms began. Because I mays go several days without rls, I would rather have a med that I can take as needed rather than taking a med daily when most days I don't need it. Is this too good to be true?

Amantadine questions
I'm on carbidopa/
levodopa
, entacapone and amantadine (100 mg 3x/day). Do you find it causes swelling in the feet, lower legs and hands? If you came off the drug, what was the upside and the downside? How did you come off of it? I understand that you can't quit it abruptly. Thanks for reponses

Mucuna Pruriens
I would like to substitute mucuna pruriens for the Carbidopa
levodopa
. I have 500 mg capsules standardized to 20% L-dopa (not exactly sure what that means). How much
levodopa
is that? My C/L Rx is 10-100 mg, 4 times daily. How many 500mg mucuna capsules do I take as an equivalent?

Parkinson's medications and T3 interactions?
Recently, I was formally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (informally undiagnosed for years), and now my doctor put me on gradually increasing doses of a
Levodopa
/Carbidopa combo (Dopicar; 250 mg
Levodopa
, 25 mg Carbidopa, manufactured by Teva).

Rasagiline?
I had an appointment with a neurologist who wants me to continue taking Carbidopa-
levodopa
, but also take Rasagiline. The side effects and food interactions list seem onerous and dangerous to me. And, it is rather expensive. I canceled the prescription until I understand this drug better.

For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess
So if taken together orally,
levodopa
medication and B6 will inactivate each other. If possible, P5P should be taken 2 hours apart from
levodopa
medication. If that is not possible, separate P5P from
levodopa
with a meal.

Does anyone here see decreases in tremors without using levodopa?
I'm just about to begin B1, and my only symptom is tremors, so I'd rather avoid
levodopa
unless it's needed. Should I start with B1 only and see what happens? Thanks

park_bear made a very compelling argument for taking P5P (active B6)
I have read that only 5%(b) of
levodopa
before carbidopa was added makes it to your brain and after carbidopa only 44%(c). If you are going to neutralize the carbidopa in your system, it makes sense not to while you maybe don’t need extra dopamine in your brain.
