Should I take levodopa if I do not have motor symptoms such as tremors?
Try it and see if it helps with your other symptoms. It can help with things like balance and gait and bradykinesia. Lack of dopamine affects so many different systems. The c/l replaces some of the dopamine your brain is no longer producing.
Hello WiltonHiener2, I’m taking C/L and it helps me with my balance issues. I don’t have tremors just balance/gait issues. I would recommend you try it and see if it helps you. If you have any concerns about C/L, talk with your doctor.

Oh the meds was your question. If it were me I would hold off in favour of a nice brandy, still what do I know I'm not a doctor. Speak to your GP. 🙂🙂🙂
