Pat, I read ur note to alan re dystonia in early AM and because I had the same symptoms I offer the following Ask your neuro about Sinemet CR for your last nitely dose before sleep. This may help you gain a few additional hours. For a fast boost first thing on waking, ask him about liquifying a double dose of Sinemet regular in OJ. For leg pain, try taking a Motrin which acts as both a relaxer and antiinflamatory. Joyce
