Hi Joh: Where are you buying GSH? How much are you taking daily? We would like to check it out. Are you only taking Amanatadine? I am growing the mucana bean here in texas to harvest. It will take 90 days for produce. Do you take the mucana bean as a powder, from the ground up bean or what? Where are you buying this product? Thanks so much for your input.

I space the dosing about 5-ish hours apart; I've found if the final dose of 100mg is taken later than 8PM, I have trouble sleeping through the night. It does give me an energy boost and some minor relief from muscle tightness, but does nothing to improve gait or reduce tremor. It's sort of just a little bit of "gas" for your "engine." On the other hand, I find it causes auditory hallucinations, drowsiness, occasional vertigo, foggy thought processing and swelling around the knees. I find much better results on GSH and mucuna bean, which I started about 6 months ago (the mucuna has been a very recent thing, so it's been too early to tell - but so far, I'm definitely impressed). My neuro practically lit his own hair on fire when I told him, but he couldn't deny the results of the GSH. The goal is to be able to cut the amantadine by 35 - 50% within 6 months. My view is the longer I stay away from starting the agonists, the better. Hope that helps.
