I wanted to know if taking 2000mg of mucuna prierens which converted to 300mg of l-dopa too much to take for 2 months. I have heard that taking this much may suppress your own production of dopamine in the brain. And low dopamine accounts for parkinson symptoms. I took this supplement at the end of last yr and about a month after discontinuing i started having symptoms of anxiety, lack of focus, poor memory, vertigo feeling, headaches. It has really freaked me out and i finally went to the doctor when i got insurance and a neuro doc and a otologist both prescribed me amatryptaline which they use for migraines but it is really used for antidepression. I told my doc about taking a neurotransmitter test to look at brain chemicals like seritonin and dopamine they dont believe in it but i would rather take natural than pharmaceutical. Any input would be great thanks.
