Default Rigidity

Most PD patients start with an agonist and as their pd progresses add Levodopa.I was diagnosed 7 years ago at the age of 71 and started medicating with Levodopa.I am taking 300mg daily.Recently my symptoms have progressed,especially my rigidity.As the Levodopa causes a mild case of Dyskinesa,I prefer not to increase the Levodopa.From your experience ,would adding a agonist decrease ther rigidity?
