After years of taking levodopa it can cause hallucinations. My mom suffers severely with these so they have reduced her amount to 1 pill 4 times a day. She started out with 2 the went to 1 and a half now we are down to one.

I take Carbidopa Levodopa. I wasn't aware of a "dopamine pill". Does anyone know about this?

I thought the dopa in the levodopa was what you are speaking of. Now there's a grammatically well-done answer. If that is the case, then I guess it seems to help most of us. I know it has helped me with tremors. As the disease changes, then the medicine changes. Well, that's how it works for me...or doesn't work. Never a dull moment. God bless and keep your chin up. 🥰
