about 6 months ago I started taking too many pills of levodopa. I went from taking 4 pills daily to 10. my doctor told me I had to detox from abuse and told me top start taking 4 again with the help of biperiden, but my body is going crazy with withdrawls. Is this normal or should I gradually detox?
