Increasing Levodopa too quickly?
Mum (96) is on
Levodopa
125 three times a day and 125 half Sinemet at night. I believe she has been undermedicated for absolutely ages and has terrible drops every day. Neurologist has just given a prescription for 62mg to be added to her existing doses.

Protein: Do we need more - or less?
Currently, I'm of the opinion that we can do without as much as most people think, which will help with getting
levodopa
into the brain. This video, made by a doctor that I trust, discusses the studies: https://youtu.be/7NW32vLq340

Disappointed with clinical trials statistics
The following link provides the list of ongoing total 491 clinical trials. The disappointing thing about it is that more than 80% of the trials are L-dopa based. The scientific and medical community is least interested in exploring other means. https://www.centerwatch.com/clinical-trials/listings/condition

Simon and Mucuna Pruriens
Guys. Simon of Science of Parkinsons fame, wrote the following about Mucuna Pruriens. I'm pretty disturbed by this as I'm a MP taker and somewhat puzzled as elsewhere he claims that in trials MP has consistently performed much better than CL when it comes to dyskinesia. I thought that this was the appeal

Mucuna Pruriens as a dopamine agonist and Aspartame
A few things I have read - I wonder if people have noticed a difference taking aspartame out of their diet and adding Mucuna Prurients. I personally avoid artificial sweeteners but have not tried Mucuna. "Aspartame is a synthetic, laboratory concocted, genetically modified, sugar-replacement nightmare

L Dopa, Helps & Hinders
While mucuna definitely helps me, it also seems to make me feel a bit tipsy, spacey, and slow..anyone else experience this ? I'm on Banyan Botanical organics mucuna 500 mg 3-7% tablets which I chew. I usually take 1 , 4x a day more as needed. They work fast.

Generic world
I was diagnosed about 9 years ago and started out on Ropinirole and Carbidopa/
Levodopa
50/200. The C/L was generic. I don't believe I have ever taken Sinemet, the name brand. My neurologist gave me several samples of Azilect probably 6-7 years ago.

Anyone here using organic Mucuna Pruriens by Sun Potion - 15 % L-Dopa?
I want to start out with 1/8 teaspoon as I am concerned about possible nausea. Any experiences you can share are appreciated. My new neurologist said MP is her "favorite plant". TIA, Thia

L-Dopa 15%
Her reply is below: I tried to find the equivalent dose of macuna for the carbidopa-
levodopa
and there are just small studies about the that. Roughly one needs 2.5-3 times of macuna L-dopa to get the same benefit of the carbidopa-
levodopa
.

Opioids
Then my (new) neurologist started me on carbadopa
levodopa
which caused extreme anxiety so only took for 4 days. I’m totally miserable. I am wondering what opioids are used and how much. I’m trying to gather information for doctors.
