Long-Term Follow-Up of Levodopa Responsiveness in Generalized Dystonia
Arch Neurol 55:1320-1323, Dewey,R.B.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We suggest that the subjective feeling of wearing off experienced by our patients with dopa-responsive dystonia may have been for one of the nonmotor effects of levodopa, such as mood elevation. Our data provide objective evidence for the often-repeated assertion that motor fluctuations (analogous to those in levodopa-treated patients with Parkinson's disease) do not occur in patients with dopa-responsive dystonia.
