Default Sinemet peak times

Hi Paula, Have been told that at peak sinemet times (think 2 to 2 1/1 hrs after taking the L-dopa), the "extra" dopamine could spill over into the limbic system, activating the dopamine receptors within, resulting in behavioral, emotional and cognitive adverse effects. Primary reason for keeping sinemet dosage at minimum.
