If you take ldopa do you still make your own dopamine on top of what the medicine provides. like if i exercise and eat right?

Levodopa (Ldopa) crosses from the blood to the brain and helps the brain make more dopamine. The dopamine then helps with movement and it is why it is used with Parkinson's Disease. Exercise itself helps the body make dopamine and this continues when you take Levodopamine. However, People with Parkinson's Disease have an impairment of how their body makes dopamine. Exercise helps this.

If you do suffer from a dopamine deficiency disorder such as Parkinson's Disease, the ingestion of L-DOPA does result in some normalization of your dopamine pathways and will ease or relieve the symptoms. Exercise does help in this case, but dietary modifications are of limited benefit.
