I'd think it through. Is there an option with mucuna? Aminos and precursors? Bs? I'd try each one for a month.

If more is needed, i'd go for the sinemet, not the agonists. Sinemet has been around 40 years. The surprises are over.
I'd learn about protective things like lipoic acid, l-carnitine, resveratrol, etc.

I'd take as much as I needed, but i'd try to skip days often to try to prevent dependence.
I've been taking mucuna and other ayurvedic herbs for 6 months or more - no change at all. Also taking Vit B, D, ALA, L-carnitine,green tea, curcumin, fish oil, Dopavite and other stuff I can't remember.

Can you actually skip sinemet? When it wears off are you worse than you were before you started it?

Also I have no drive or motivation which I imagine is due to lack of dopamine - will sinemet help that?
