My husband was just prescribed Xadago for muscle rigidity/stiffness. Has anyone else tried this new drug?

Any updates to this one or any others regarding xadago and azilect. Does anyone know how you go about coming off azilect. Can you cut it down. I am worried about withdrawal symptoms if I just stop taking it as Doctor advised then a week later I was told to start xadago.

Thanks, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member: We haven't started it yet. Must get off another med first. It's a similar drug to Azilect, it's an (MaO-B) which was only FDA approved in USA in March 2017, but has been used in Europe since 2015 with good results. We're praying for good results.
