Lodaloda,
Welcome to the forum. You say that your mother doesn't respond very well to levodopa. What doses has she tried? Has she been careful to take her drugs away from food, especially protein? You say that she does not have ons and offs. This suggests to me that she is still producing dopamine, but in insufficient quantities to be "normal". A good sign of this is whether she wakes up feeling good. John
