GABAPENTIN for nerve pain?
My PD meds are carbidopa/
levodopa
, comtan and mirapex. (Mirapex was the possible interaction). Within two hours of taking the one AND ONLY capsule I will ever take, I had double vision, a migraine complete with nausea, diarhea (sp?), and felt like a walking zombie.

Is capsule containing 120mg of Velvet beans derived L-Dopa ok to start for Parkinson?
I am caregiver to an illiterate woman in her 70s. The problem started with night time urinary incontinence. When all possible treatment failed, she was referred to a neurologist who diagnosed Parkinsons. By then, fine tremor was becoming noticeable in one of the arms. Before then, the arthritis of the

Why do very few doctors prescribe a monotherapy of an MAO-b inhibitor, instead of immediately prescribing levodopa medication?
MAO-b inhibitors are capable of slowing down the progression of Pd. No other type of medication can, to the best of my knowledge, achieve this. As a non-medical person with Pd, I would like to know why this is not the best way to deal with Pd?

Coconut oil has improved my life
The addition of Carbidopa/
Levodopa
(25/100, 3 per day) eased the joint pain and the freezing episodes and restored some of the lost balance, but I still had annoying unsteadiness, slow movement, and could not rise from a low chair unassisted. I still dragged my left leg.

can taking mucuna pruriens cause restless leg?
I recently went off some of my Parkinson's meds and substituted mucuna pruriens ( an natural l-dopa herb). However, my restless leg has become worse and unbearable. Could there be a connection?

Levodopa
, widely used to treat Parkinson’s.

Has anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms while tapering off of Roprinerol (Requip)?
I also take 600 mg of Stalevo and 10 tablets of Carbidopa /
Levodopa
25/100 each day. The next neurologist decreased the dosage from 24 mg to 12 mg. My new neurologist, who is a movement disorder specialist, has had me taper off from 12 to 10 to 8 to 6 mg daily.

Did you know that only half of our disease is being treated?
It means you may have another way to treat this without experiencing the dark side of
levodopa
. It means you may be able to significantly decrease your intake of ldopa and live many more years without invasive brain surgeries.
