update
Still very much experimental. I find that a much smaller dose than expected is best for me. Five to fifteen grams with half a Sinemet CR. More than that and I have to watch out for dyskinesias.
It still gives me a fast "on" and I have cut the Sinemet by half and the Requip by a quarter.
Something odd this morning. Up at 4 AM thanks to my cat and dog having a heated debate. Decided to stay up but didn't want to mess with the powder at that hour so I took a full Sinemet. I knew it woud be awhile before it kicked in (1 to 2 hours expected) but I was just going to listen to music and veg.
Much to my surprise, even without the mucuna, it turned me on in under 30 min! That hasn't happened in a long time. Any ideas?
