> Hi.
> I was wondering... L-dopa is converted into dopamine inside the brain, so why this drug doesn't cause any mild stimulation or euphoria?

> I took half pill of Madopar (l-dopa 200mg + benseraside 50mg per pill) and didn't feel anything.
> With 1 pill i become nauseous and with 1 and a half i vomit.. I didn't notice any psychotropic effect. Why?
>Consider yourself lucky since l-dopa can be addictive. Nausea is a known side effect from l-dopa. Statistically there's a certain percentage that will experience nausea and you seem to have fallen into this category... many side effects are transient though.
