questions about Rytary

My neurologist has suggested that I try Rytary at night instead of C/L extended release, to see if it improves early morning symptoms (mostly leg stiffness). I'm not sure if it's worth making a change, if the morning symptoms aren't terribly bothersome. I'd like to hear others experiences with Rytary -- if you've used it in this way, or in general experiences with this drug. I've read what I can find on the forum but haven't seen anyone specifically using for overnight. Also, any problems with this formulation to know about? I have seen some comments about accumulation during the day leading to increased dyskinesia. I don't have dyskinesia at this point.

I currently take:

7-8am 1.5 tabs c/l 25/100 plus one Now Dopa Mucuna and 500 mg Vitamin C

11am-12pm 1.5 c/l plus one Dopa Mucuna

3-4pm 1 c/l plus one Vit. C

7-8pm 1 c/l

11pm teo c/l ER 25/100
