Yes I am experiencing this. In fact I can go on for two hours, if I don't
try to do things with much effort. I once read something about it and it
was called sleep-benfit. Starting the first sinemet not before two hours
after I've gotten up, I benefit more from it than if I start it immediately
after I've gotten up.
The only symptom which sometimes shows up during this drug-free period is a
tremor, which is totally absent the rest of my day. The symptoms, which are
the
most troublesome are a combination of dystonia and dyskinesia which starts
in the evening 3 or 4 hours after I took my last sinemet and lasts about 1
hour.
