My husband was taking Mirapex and gave him a terrible side effect of hallucinations. Is off now and taking Rytari, hopefully it will be better for him

I found this helped extend the levodopa (sinemet) action from 2 hours back to 3 or more in a non working day and noticed a difference straight away. Found no effect from pramiprexole at all so stopped it. Keep trying different ones to find your one that works

It's important to follow your doctor's instructions when taking Azilect (Rasagiline). Here are some key points from the knowledge base:

- Dosage: Azilect is taken orally as a tablet once a day, with or without food. It's crucial to take it at the same time each day.
- Monitoring: Your doctor will regularly monitor your blood pressure while you are taking Azilect.
- Dietary Restrictions: Limit intake of foods high in tyramine (e.g., cheese, aged meat, smoked fish) as they can contribute to high blood pressure.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include flu syndrome, joint pain, depression, and indigestion. Serious side effects like vision changes, seizures, or hallucinations should be reported immediately.

If you are not seeing improvement in your tremors, it's essential to discuss this with your doctor. They may need to adjust your treatment plan or explore other options.
