The average time for how long it takes for a parkinsons patient to get narrowed in on the levels of the nutrients for symptomatic alleviation, as I have read in their studies/website, is around 3-6 months. So understand that it will take a while and at first while transferring from the meds to the amino acids side effects are rather pronounced while the transfer takes place.

”Novel observations reporting a group of 17 Parkinson’s disease patients led to identification of carbidopa-induced dyskinesias, which had not been documented prior to 2012.1 These patients had been ingesting prescribed concomitant l-dopa/carbidopa preparations for 1–7 years. Their drugs were continued as the core nutrients were started. The mean daily dosing value of l-dopa/carbidopa was 1,000 mg and 250 mg, respectively, at the initiation of the core nutrients. The mean duration of previous drug treatment was 3 years, 7 months. Onset of dyskinesias began within the first week of treatment when the core nutrients were added. Dyskinesias were generally described as facial twitching and head bobbing due to peripheral muscle-control problems within the neck and upper shoulders. When dyskinesias developed, the l-dopa/carbidopa was immediately discontinued and the nutritionally sourced l-dopa increased fivefold to compensate for the loss of the carbidopa effect on the central nervous system by blocking peripheral conversion of l-dopa to dopamine. This conversion to higher-dose l-dopa was monitored using the previously published pill-stop technique.37 Following this protocol, all patients achieved full resolution of dyskinesias within 4 days. This led to the hypothesis that the dyskinesias that resolved after applying the new protocol had been induced by the carbidopa and were not related to the l-dopa. There were no refractory dyskinesias experienced.”
