Newbie to the group and very pleased to read the wealth of information here. I was diagnosed in Apr 2013 and waited stubbornly for one yr before taking sinemet. It helped a lot but after only one yr dyskinesia started. the prospect of the ever increasing dyskinesia depressed me. I found the Amino Acid protocol information and accepted the premise that carbidopa causes dyskinesia. I switched to the protocol 3 months ago and within one week dyskinesia was almost completely removed. It has been a rough ride finding the dosage that works for me but I think we have it close. I am only taking 13.5g/d along with 1 Neuroreplete and 6 Cysreplete and 300 mg B6. I am very happy with the results so far.
