OK I just looked it up. My main question is this. It has been explained to me that once L-Dopa is started, you have an unknown period of time before the side effects such as dyskinesia begin. If my husband got on mucuna would it be as if he got on Sinemet (since mucuna is a natural form of levadopa and is recieved by the brain in the same way as the synthetic form) and would begin this aforementioned "unknown period of time"?
