Yesterday I stayed on with no further meds or mucuna until 7:30PM, which was pretty impressive. Then I went "off" relatively quckly (I know it is spelled incorrectly but it makes such a neat word! :-) ) over a ten mnute span. Took another teaspoon of mucuna mixed with apple sauce and waited....and waited....and etc. Nothing. Gave up and hobbled to bed about 10:00. Slept well and woke up at 7:30 in decent shape. Took 1 sinemet and 2 requip and 1 tsp mucuna. Came "on" in half an hour which is half my usual. It is now 10:30 and I am still in good shape.

About last night. (How's that for an intro? ) The dose in early afternoon was with water but the later one was apple sauce. While my first thought was that the earlier one benefitted from lingering carbidopa, it might be that the pectin in the apple sauce altered absorption.

Time will tell.
