Lemon lime,
I didn't tell my doctor because all he wants to do is to keep me on my meds and to increase it whenever there an issue. I talked to a pharmacist online and he advised me that I could cut the pill in half for about a month to see how that goes. Then if needed cut the half in half. I not as weak but anxiety kick in. I can handle it because its not that bad. That's my story. I know that Azilect conflicts with a lot of supplement that I wanted to try, so I slowly worked it off. Hopefully you have the same success that I had. I just bought a bottle of Rhodiola and plan on using this week. Can't wait. Oh, and quercetin also.

We received the book The Rhodiola Reolution by Brown & Gerbarg....
they suggested to 2 clients with PD to also add Galanthus nivalis (snowdrop plant to their intake along with rhodiola and stated that it really made a huge difference in their lives. both were completely dependant upon their wives. They made a huge come back. They also suggest a product called Clear Mind ( a blend of rhodiola, hydroxycinnamic acid from blueberries and Rhododendron caucasicum ) I have not researched any of these as yet, but the description in the book "before and after" are impressive. |

Hi Lemonlime,
I wanted to share that I am currently going through withdrawl of Selegeline which I have taken almost continually for about 15 years. It has only been 5 days so far and my symptoms are worse but not terrible, some more cramping and the sinemet I take is not lasting as long as I am used to (more like 3 hours than 3 1/2 - 4 ). I have done this before when I was going to have minor surgery. I also have had 2 scares over the years with interactions of the MAO-I and herbs (I think one time it was 5-HTP which I wasn't aware was in a supplement). I would greatly prefer to not take it as there are so many possible and dangerous interactions. If I have any reactions- I'll try to let you know. Quote:

We are still having positive results with rhodiola. My one friend is gaining much more strength and flexibility and is standing up straighter than I have ever seen her in the 4 years I have been one of her caregivers. Her family has noticed also. We are doing more complicated exercises and stretches . I notice about 20% improvement now every week. I have gone back to taking 1 Swanson brand capsule at breakfast instead of taking 1/2. Sleeping better, getting alot done outside. Went to a Contra Dance (like square dancing) at the college last week and danced every dance and didn't get tired (usually do every other one and take brake in between) The cold is not bothering me as much *though I did find flannel lined jeans and wear long jons underneath this winter...keeping legs warmer is a big plus. I have about 400 fava beans in the ground now, but need alot more.
All in all. ..Rhodiola is a thumbs - up for Aunt Bean! |

I am not a doctor Drevy , but Zandopa is mucuna base and my other friend here that is going natural for PD takes the Rhodiola and mucuna capsules also.. she also makes and takes fermented Payaya and fava tincture. She does not seem to be having a problem with it. She just made a visit to her neuro at Vanderbuilt (spelling?) and they said she checked out good..just keep doing what she is doing and keep notes so she can teach them about the natural things we are doing. A definite Thumbs UP.
I have just reduced down to 1/2 Swanson brand 400mg Rhodiola before breakfast and seem to be doing ok with it this time. Tried it before and my energy level dropped so I had gone back on a whole again. Been taking 1/2 for a week and still ok this time. (I still haven't had time to make the Rhodiola extract ..taking apart all the capsules takes a while....but I will get to it soon. |
