Rainbow,
There is no need to titrate off since you are replacing l-dopa (sinemet) with l-dopa (mucuna). L-dopa is still the gold standard. You no longer take carbidopa but instead take 5-HTP for nausea. It will take a bit to find the correct dose of mucuna. I felt better on day one but it took a few weeks to dial it in. I've heard of others taking months. I talked about it on the other thread on the Hinz protocol.
