Thank goodness, a place where I might actually learn something....but I wish Ray Peat would put his fine mind to the problem (that seems to be increasing in incidence, including more people of all ages) of the various motor and non-motor problems that get lumped together under the Parkinson's label. Now they tell me they're not sure I even have it. The usual rules of diet don't seem to apply because the neurotransmitters are already out of whack, and then the pharmaceuticals make things worse.
I am taking about 1,000 mg. of levo-carb a day, and the docs have put me on an SSRI (citalopram) to help me withdraw from clonazepam, then they put me on lorazepam to replace the clonazepam, while I was still in withdrawal (my own initiative) from taking a 'Z' drug for sleep then going off it far too fast. It seems all my neurotransmitters are out of whack, and the usual dietary advice doesn't help. Protein blocks levo-carb, sugary sweets make the serotonin skyrocket, I've got histamine coming out all over, and I don't think there is a GABA receptor in my body that still works.
Anybody got any ideas where to start? My goal is to get off the citalopram and lorazepam, then tackle the levo-carb, and if necessary, try the mucuna bean.
