Parkinson’s Medication: 7 Levodopa Questions Every Patient Eventually Asks
Q: Why does adjusting my dose cause dyskinesia, and is it normal?
Dyskinesia often occurs when dopamine levels spike too high or change rapidly; it can happen with small dose increases or timing shifts, but it does not mean you're doing something wrong—these symptoms reflect brain response to dopamine and can be managed with medical guidance.
