Too much levodopa?

[puretone]

Other than dyskinesias what clues have people received that tell them that their dosage is too high?

[cgreg]

In my case, there are two symptoms that indicate excessive levodopa intake; 1) a feeling that my movements are too loose, or 2) a feeling that my movements are too stiff.

constipation, sundowning (confusion in the night) Mania and suicidal ideation.

I actually get mildly nauseous if I overdo C/L. Then once it kicks in I actually get sleepy. How about you?

I though dyskinesia was sometime that doesn't really disappear. Once you develop it, you have it. I guess that would depend on severity.

My dyskinesia is mild and occasional
