Dopamine you take in a pill will not go to the right place in the brain. The caridopa/Levidopa you take goes the right place and is converted to Dopamine there.

As far as I know from studying: The L-dopa you should be getting for Parkinson’s is a dopamine replacement. If I understood everything correctly be careful one of the symptoms PD sufferers can do eventually is over drugging them- selves. . Plus, having too much dopamine can cause hallucinations.

Along with an opinion I’d consider greatly a new Neuro Dr. . One concerned about his lack of response and certainly increasing dosage
Not by Decreasing his Meds!
Good Luck & God Bless!

A second opinion sounds like an excellent idea.

DaleBurton,
Thanks for getting back to me. His tremors have remained the same or gotten worse esp in his right hand since taking the meds and he did say to stop them if he wanted him to esp if they were not doing a thing for him. Very confusing for me since I read up on this site everyday. So I am wondering if we should get a second opinion. Thanks again, Take care, Hope you are having a good day today. BFN!🤗😊🤔
