Answer:

Please read the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

When any doctor prescribes levodopa, it will be not a matter of the right decision to stop taking it by own without a doctor's permission. Suddenly stopping taking levodopa can develop a severe syndrome such as rigid muscles, fiver, unusual body movement, and confusion in mind.

So, it will be a good decision to stop taking levodopa as per the doctor's suggestion.
