Nice read but of no use. Taking c/l is a must for most PWP come what may.

Don't think so! Natural L-dopa has no side effects.

That is not the case. I have experienced dyskinesia with different forms of MP the same as I have with pharmaceutical c/l.

Sorry about that, Julie. Aren't you taking any kind of L-dopa now?

I take c/l 10/100 3-4x a day.

Does that mean that I am in danger of having more or less sex?
