Like Paula my dystonia happens when I'm off, and the Sinemet is the only relief. When I do get it, it happesn in the early hours of the morning before I've had a chance to take my medication. Mine happens to reside in my feet. The feet turn in so my toes feel like they're being pulled in towards my ankles.

Before I was diagnosed with PD, my initial and very quick diagnosis was focal dystonia. I was put on Klonopin first, which didn't do much then Baclofen, which did a little better, but not nearly as well as the Sinemet.
