Lindy-

Take a look back at my first post on this thread. They are talking about using it to increase the effectiveness of the synthetics and ascribing a joint MAOI and COMT inhibitor action against cataleptic rats. To me, the latter is similar to freezing.

I would like to know however, just how minimal doses of sinemet would affect things. And would just using it with our own dopamine stores do anything? -Rick

They recommended leaving a two hour gap, something that is just about possible if wearing off is not too fast........

I have followed this thread with great interest, especially about the apple link as I had a sudden improvement following a couple of days of drinking (very expensive) organic fresh apple juice on special offer, very unexpected, and am thinking of looking for some quercetin. Goodness knows, the drugs we are prescribed do not enough for what we take them for, and too much that we would choose to lose.....
