Dear Mira,

My answers are:

1. My doctor prescribed it directly from the manufacturer - The Zandu Pharmaceutical Works Ltd , in India BUT i know some members got it via other sources.

2.Brand Name is Zandu (HP200) in power form.

3. How much to take: it's a matter of trial and error but the starting dose is one to two standard teaspoon daily (7.5 g) . Remarks: My two cents is to start Mucuna alone (but make sure that you dont have any key event to attend) to evaluate how your body respond to it and make adjustment.

4. side effects: similar to sinemet in the long term and when overdosed ie dyskinesia / headache

I dont like to be here too but I like the people here as I learn and get so much support from buddies here.
