Interesting. The possible side effects are pretty off-putting.

But then this study suggests that levodopa doesn't increase the rate of dyskinesia.

I don't understand what you mean by "rate of dyskinesia". In the post that you linked to, Hikoi did not use the word "rate".

What the Ghana study demonstrated is that delaying the start of levodopa therapy (in the hope that this will delay the onset of dyskinesia) does not work.
