My mother Joyce, 68/6 months, takes 25/100 Sinemet 4.5/day, .25 Permax
5x/day, and 10 mg. Paxil. She just noticed within the past month that at
night when she gets up to use the bathroom that she has some dyskinesia in
one arm -- nothing to wake her; it's there when she's awakened by something
else. She says she stiffens her arm and it goes away.

Is this due to the Sinemet? Is it normal that it would start this early
(she's  been on Sinemet only for 6 months). Thanks.
