Thanks Max for the update. Yes, I can now say I have been able to eliminate the use of Mirapex/Requip/Neupro patch with the help of Mucuna, and am feeling better than I was before, and at least 2/3 of the Sinemet I used to take. Still taking Stalevo and seem to need a little sinemet - but not so much.

I have tried the Zandopa and was surprised to find that it worked in a certain way but felt very intense, and very scary and almost sickening, and the shift back to my regular regimen just a dose-time or so later felt very rocky and frightening. Maybe it doesn't go well with Stalevo? Don't know....wish we had someone who really had the pharmaceutical knowledge, experience, and willingness to help us all figure this out....
