There seems to be neurological disagreement about this, and presumably the disagreement is addressed in the American Neurological Society's Guidelines for treatment, but you have to be a member to see them.
I’d appreciate any help or opinions on this.
Thank you!

I'm reading the side effects of Azilect and I am doubting taking it. Can anybody tell me if you suffer side effects? Thanks for the information you can share.
My pharmacy just gave me the generic version. Should I be concerned, or should I speak to my neurologist? Not sure if I should wait for a brand name of the drug before starting it. I am weaning off the Neupro patch because I had some fett swelling. Please advise!! Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Peace and love❤️🌈
I'm off of it now. Hope you get it straightened out. I was able to stop taking it.
What other meds are available for PD and how are they tolerated.
And on to the next drug. Insurance will not authorize the @Rytary until I fail at least two drugs on their list. So this is the second drug Carbidopa levodopa enta 200 milligrams. Supposed to believe this makes the l-dopa last longer so I don't have an off time of two to three hours. I'll be taking one three times a day. wondering if anyone else has experienced with this medication
I have been on it for sometime and it seems to have done what it is made for, it is rather expensive even tho the VA supplies mine. But it really sdeems to have helped .
My husband does not want to take meds due to reaction to amantadine where legs swelled. What does sinemet do for you? Concerned that he might enjoy life more if not so tired physically and could walk at a "normal" speed

Medication
Does anyone else take rytary and carvadopa/levadopa at the same time. I was in the ER because the medication reaction and they said it was because I was taking these 2 meds together. Just wondered if anyone else is on that combination?
Great! It’s worth asking. Inbrija is a very new medicine, so not many know about it.
