Improvement: This medine works best for stiffness, then slowness of movement, then tremor. You need to be monitored for effectiveness and side effects by your doctor.

Better motor skills: Levodopa should really help your motor skills. Make sure you don't eat protein around your dosing or else you may not absorb it very well.
