If I had known tht I'd get results I would have minute detail 24/7 but who'd uh thunk it?

Before I started the mucuna trial and near the end of the ginseng trial six or eight weeks ago, I was officially taking 3x sinemet CR 200/50 and 6x requip 4 mg and six months ago I jettisoned 1x eldepryl 5 mg as well as a blood pressure drug called hyzaar. The ginseng was supposed to normalize blood pressure and it did (just now checked at 112/65 !). The eldepryl was a potential problem with the dex cough syrup (which I still haven't gotten around to). And a few months prior to that I was up to 8x requp 4 mg which even I knew was too much.

Through most of that period it was a slow start in the mornings, dragile but mostly functional all day and freezing from about 8 PM onward.

Today I started out with a half of one of the 50/200s, 1x requip 4 mg, and 10 g mucuna.
At 10 AM I took another half of a 50/200 and another 4 mg requip but no mucuna.
At 1 PM I took (I think) a repeat of the 10 AM
At 4 PM it was 10 g of mucuna and one requip 4 mg.
Normally I would have taken a final round at 8 PM (15 min ago) but I am functional and a bit dyskinetic so I am going to skip it until I start needing it.

So totals for today are one and a half sinemet cr 50/200s and four requip. Darn, that's cutting the sinemet by half and the requip by a third! And considering the dyskinesia, I probably should have left out the 4 PM requip. I am impressed!

The wait for turning on time is much shorter in the mornings and the freezing is probably a fourth what it was. And when I get up I am noticeably ore functional right out of the bed.

You know, I've already figured out that there is more at work than just natural ldopa and I assumed that there was some carbidopa clone at work. ut a possibility that I just thought of is that there is something that is either increasin the number of or the sensitivity of recetors so that a little goes a long way. Hmm, this is getting interesting.
