Questions about dystonia.
Hello to all. I have not posted in a long time but I am usually checking in to find out how everyone is doing. In the last year I have had fluctuations in my meds and have to take the doses closer together. I take Requip and Sinemet every 3 hrs. My worst symptom is dystonia which seems to start at end of dose and often shortly after taking a dose. I was reading an article about dystonia that says that it may develop as a complication of therapy for PD, occurring secondary to the administration of L-dopa. Is it possible that I am making it worse by increasing the frequency of taking meds throughout the day? The dystonia is bad at times and I am getting more confused as to whether I am taking too much or not enough. I would appreciate any input from all of the experienced PWP.
