I usually take my first dose after I have a cup of oatmeal, sometimes before. This morning I tried it on an empty stomach, it's been 25 minutes and I have noticed no change in tremor or dystonia(my dominant symptom).

I know you titrate up with Stalevo, but in regards to L-Dopa, you don't build up a reserve with the medication, right?

I haven't started Sinemet yet.
Thanks for the pointer, I will continue to take Stalevo on an empty stomach and see if there are any changes in my symptoms. I could use the relief
