Anyone have any personal experience using this (Mucuna Pruriens) for Parkinson's, either with or instead of pharmaceutical L-Dopa? I'm not looking for more webpages or science articles at this point...thanks!

Try vinegar for cramps - drink some & put some on your legs

Herbal supplements aren't regulated, so you don't actually know how much dopamine you are getting with them or the purity of the product. I certainly wouldn't replace c/l with a supplement. If you do take it, let your doctors know. Too much dopamine can cause issues.

Updating here...my trial of Mucuna is officially over. A single capsule gave four hours of "nausea". I'm using quotes because nausea doesn't quite do it justice. It was like a Family Guy sketch...
