I have yet to hear people say that their dystonia was mitigated or relieved by levadopa. I hear them say what it does help with, which is a lot but most say not the dystonia. I continue to listen to people from different regions to gather what they have all tried for this. I have been searching since 2009, for as many clues as possible initially thinking maybe it was athletic related. For a while... Even after the first experience of severe trigeminal nerve pain I didn't think of other weird muscle and joint things happening as I slept as being possibly related to anything except maybe over use, or some repeated motions that couldn't be avoided.
