You probably do need to cut back, but talk to your doctor first. An extended release pill may work better, or smaller doses throughout the day. (i.e. 2 x 100 mg vs. 1 x 250).
Skipping a dose of Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa) without consulting your doctor is not recommended. Sudden changes in medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms like high fever, confusion, or muscle stiffness. The writhing you experienced may be dyskinesia, a side effect of long-term use.
