This neurologist also gave me information on rebates for Neupro (which he prescribed after seeing my history of taking increasing doses of gabapentin, duloxetine, ropinrole, carbidopa-
levodopa
, and amitriptyline to no avail.

Mucuna
Hi community, I just started on Mucuna extract 650 MG 40% L –Dopa from Barlow's herbal elixirs.. I have been taking one capsule twice a day for the past couple of days, it makes my head feel funny but have not gotten any relief from my tremors. Does it take a while before I begin to fill a positive effect

I will be receiving the Dopa Macuna 15% L-Dopa tomorrow. I want to begin taking it in an attempt to see if this alone will replace the Carbidopa that I currently take 2 times a day each measured at 25-100. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to take it? I currently take one Carbidopa at 7 AM and

A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of Zishenpingchan granules
This combination of Chinese and Western medicine has the potential to reduce
levodopa
dosages, and no obvious side effects were found.

the ability to detect on-off states using the REMPARK system.
The treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) with
levodopa
is very effective. However, over time, motor complications (MCs) appear, restricting the patient from leading a normal life. One of the most disabling MCs is ON-OFF fluctuations.

Mucuna P
Hello everyone, just received my L-Dopa from NUTRIVita, I haven't taken any of it yet. I was looking for some current posts on Mucuna, but everything I've found is approximately a year to two years old. Could anyone share current information with me? Is it working for you? Any precautions I need to

Syncope, orthostatic hypotension, levodopa.
Commonly used vasodilator drugs include
levodopa
for Parkinson’s disease... Some individuals with NOH may also have high blood pressure when lying down (supine hypertension). Supine hypertension complicates treatment options for affected individuals.

Levodopa and gastric emptying
The results indicate that
levodopa
inhibits gastric emptying and thus influences its own absorption. Temporary inhibition of gastric emptying by
levodopa
(or a metabolite) is the cause of the multiple plasma peaks commonly observed following oral
levodopa
.

Sinemet: factors affecting variability - gastric emptying
Higher
levodopa
and carbidopa concentrations were reached when the LC-CR was taken 1 h before the meal, but the plasma level profile for
levodopa
was flatter in the non-fasted state. The area under the curve for
levodopa
was slightly higher in the fasted condition.

Side Effects of cutting back on levodopa/carbidopa
We went back to the doctor each time he went into this syndrome and finally the doctor consulted with our neurologist who immediately said get him back on his
levodopa
/ carbidopa 6 a day!! We did that and he’s back to what we consider himself!!

Side effects
I recently saw my neurologist and was telling him about my leg pains and he thought it could be side effect from the carbo/
levodopa
. He decreased the dosage and im happy to say my leg pains are decreasing.I take it only 3 times a day instead of 4.

This particular interview is of interest because it addresses ICDs, which may help those who are experiencing compulsive behaviours as a result of a dopamine agonist or
levodopa
. It may also help with, inter alia, anxiety, depression, sleep and opioid abuse.

Double Trouble?
Does the PD meds (
levodopa
carbedopa) hurt my liver? I still strive to be active and happy. Life is to short to be stressing, at 60 years old.

Mucuna Pruriens-Varying Amounts of L-dopa Confusing
I bought mucuna Kapikakacchu powder first and have no idea the content of L-dopa but it works. I took 1 tbsp. 2x a day. The whole powder doesn't seem as smooth when I come off of it but is supposed to have beneficial ingredients. Just not sure how much to take but once a day to replace another dose of

In our patients who started thiamine treatment, even after 10 years of
levodopa
treatment, with the addition of thiamine, no symptoms related to late complications of
levodopa
have ever occurred. Thiamine is effective in reducing the intensity of late complications from
levodopa
