We are like Steve, we take Banyan mucuna when we need a boost or the sinemet is just not hitting. A full teaspoon usually does the trick, mixed in water (bleh) or milk (this is how they take it in India, I have read). Best way is mixed in a strawberry smoothie made with milk and strawberries

It hits much faster than sinemet, but will also leave off much faster too. Be sure to factor it in with your rx drugs, to keep track of how much ldopa you are taking each day.

BTW, have not ever noticed any dyskinesias from mucuna.
