I won't say these are negatives so much as cautions. I think it is safer than Sinemet at a minimum.
1) I think the raw powder is best because no one has messed with it. Zandopa is suspect.
2) The studies talk of dosages as high as 30 g and I myself have gone as high as 50 g. At present I am using just 5 g! It seems to be enough.
3) I have integrated it into my other meds. I still take Sinemet CR and Requip at the same dosages, but I get better results. However, I take the mucuna at supper because it seems to interfere with my meds if I take it in the mornng.
4) Because raw beans are not good for you, I toast it in the oven.
It is a valuable tool. I just have to learn how to use it.

My question : Has anyone had any negative response or experience with mucuna? Has anyone even heard of anyone having a negative experience?
I guess I've just been a little "chicken" to jump into the experiment, and am looking for someone to push me in! I'm looking forward to your response.
In the meantime, I'm very happy that both of you are having such great results. It gives me hope.
