Dear Marjorie, Brian, Joyce Tames, and SInemet yellow (25/100) vs.
Sinemet blue (10/100) discussion friends::
I just read Brian Collin's post, and I, too, am concerned that pure
Levodopa may be VERY harmful to you, Marjorie. Your suffering is
something I hope we can help you avoid.......

Marjorie, for the benefit of all of us, can you please describe the
symptoms you are going through? How was it determined that these are
symptoms of an "adverse reaction to the Carbidopa? Did your neurologist
identify SPECIFICS that prove that Carbidopa is at fault?
We talk about "Carbidopa poisoning" on the List, and yet, noone
seems to have identified the specific symptoms involved in this. I'm
still unclear how I might tell if I am experiencing it.
For example, my urine has taken on a dark color--is this Levodopa,
Carbidopa, renal problems, or Levodopa combined with Carbidopa? Again,
we're back to the levodopa-carbidopa ratio question: what impact does
Sinemet blue (10/100) have, compared to yellow (25/100)?
I am PERPLEXED.
Thank you Marjorie and I hope you feel better soon,
Ivan 48/10
