A member asked:
How long does levodopa take to work with dopamine-responsive dystonia? what's the usual dose for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There is a titration period where your body equilibrates with the new medicine which depends on the dose titration and goal dosage. If you're at those goals then you should be able to tell whether it's helping as Levodopa only lasts around 12 hours in your body
