Rick,

That's the idea. If you disturb a living system, it will react to restore the equilibrium. If this disturbance is violent, the reaction will be like wise. That is why I think it is better to let the medication sneak in.

When you need medication, the body is in stress, trying to rise the dopamine level. When you add a small amount of levodopa, you will make life easier. When you add too much the system will try to get rid of the excess levodopa or even the excess dopamine.

It's a theory no absolute truth, but I think it is very reasonable.
