If not, then protein in your foods could be interfering with levodopa absorption. If the levodopa isn't absorbed, it could cause stiffness during the night. Some of my clients have better levodopa absorption in the morning hours, then worse in the afternoon and evening. If this occurs, I advise them to be sure to take levodopa well before meals and snacks. My very best regards, Kathrynne -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD "Nutrition you can live with!"
