| | | | L-Dopa, which is administered to treat the |
| * Decreases irritability and overactivity | | | | effects of the disease. DMAE seems to |
| | | | counteract dyskenesis effectively and safely |
| * Does not cause drowsiness | | | | without interfering with the benefits of the |
| | | | therapy. DMAE is proving to reduce the |
