The fact that L-Dopa as a medication is taken in solid (possibly crystalline) form does not matter. Once it goes into solution in body fluids the enzyme which converts it into dopamine does not "know" that it was ingested in a solid crystalline/amorphous form.
So how does it make you feel when you take a pill?
