Default Dyskinesia - ie Chorea type ankle writhing

Has anyone with this prob found relief by switching from Sinemet or mucuna to Stalevo?
I think maybe Harley did - after her CClinic experience.
It feels like a severly sprained ankle gone spastic. Very painful and disabling. It happens with the oning of meds and then again as it wears off. Eating generally brings it on...and I have to limp/writhe off to lie down - which might lessen the severity...or not.
I read that only Amantadine helps....and as I did not like the side effects, I really don't want to take this. Any other choices?
My sore swollen ankle appreciiates any suggestions. Thanks, Ibby
