My consultant has recently prescribed me levodopa to help control involuntary tremors and spasms. While it seems to be helping with this, I've noticed problems with voluntary movement where either I struggle to make my hand do what I want or my legs refuse to move at all (not that they work too well anyway!) I've only been on this treatment for 2 weeks and am supposed to try it for 2 months. I understand that there may be a trade off between symptoms and the side effects of the treatment but I'd like to hear of anyone's experiences with dopamine treatment
