Default too much or too little

Asking for opinions

My PD started very asymmetric-on my dominant left side--arm>leg-over the past 7 years I have gone up on my dopa--presently q 2.5 hour Stalevo 100- I take my first dose at 530-6 am and my last dose approx. 630 pm--though my symptoms remain asymmetric, my l leg is now worse than arm during off periods. Over the past several months I have been waking up with very "stiff" bilateral lower extremities with frequent am dystonia in my right foot-then followed by my left foot--I have tried to take Parcopa 50 30 min before getting up--and now take 50 levodopa/carbidopa- with my 100 Stalevo in the morning and get out of bed 20 minutes later. The latest problem that I have is intermittent tremor of my left foot/leg- (my good side)--it is quite frustrating--and getting worse--as my morning bilateral stiffness seems to be getting longer-- and I don't know if this, which I think is dystonia, is "off" or "on" --I hope someone will help!
