Has anyone tried to improve the effectiveness of their immediate release levodopa based drugs by taking the drug more frequently, while reducing the dose to maintain the total dose for the day at the original level?
For example, a total of 300mg of levodopa per day could be delivered by 3 doses of 100mg, 4 doses of 75mg, 10 doses of 30mg, 100 doses of 3mg, etc.. More frequent doses should even out the amount of levodopa in the body. But, as always, the devil is in the detail. John
