Default Some things that help me (sometimes)

1- Sitting in the quiet dark doing a breathing meditation.
2- Taking a B-complex about 15 minutes after the Ldopa
3- Taking a potassium supplement about 15 min etc.
4- Lying in the floor "wallering". If you don't know what that means, send twenty bucks for my book, "Wallering - A Country Way to Knowing"
5-You might try mucuna. It comes on fast but goes just as quick. It might be good if used with a CR form of sinemet.

What do you do while waiting for the Levodopa to "arrive"?
