There is no actual proof that azilect actually does slow the progression of Parkinsons and it hasn't been used for very many years so I am trying to find someone who has taken it for several years. It is a gamble especially with the cost.
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member It would be best to go through the four-week session with a certified physical therapist. It is not online. You can purchase a DVD and use it for follow-up on your own. I… read more
My husband was prescribed Azilect, and it made him nauseated and gave him headaches. We took him off of it, and now he is more tired. It would be helpful to understand what medications have proven helpful and which have not. And also whether or not the side effects outweighed the benefits.
If anyone is paying an outrages price for Azilect (I was paying $375 for three months), I just refilled mine and the generic brand is now available in the USA. I paid $25.00 for a three month supply of Rasagiline (this is the generic brand.) About time!!!!
That med is one Bill no longer takes. I think he had hallucinations while on it!
There are just so many medication and would like to hear from someone who actually had some success with something. Looking for Tried and True, rather then Trial an Error!
Can anyone recommend a Medicine they have taken in the Early Stage of PD that reduced slight tremor and gave them a better overall feeling without side effects
Looking for a small dose and maybe time released!
Any thoughts?
I take rasigline and i have high blood pressure. None of my doctors have mentioned this may be related, next visit I will ask them.

I have not taken this med yet. What is it for?
Hello everyone. Thank you so much for giving me so much information and suggestions on dystonia. I think I found a doc but cant get in until April which for me seems a lifetime away. I have another question....Azilect. For what purpose is it used. Is it like cabo.leva or does it have other properties? Are there dietary restriction with this treatmen? Is it working well for you. Thanks for any info you can provide. Hope you are having a wonderful day and Gods Blessings to you all!!!
I've been taking that for about six years. At first, it seemed to reduce my tremors. Lately, it does not appear to be as effective. I see my doctor next week and I will see what he suggests.

How has Azelect helped your symptoms?
Are the dietary restrictions severe?
Have you experienced any side effects?
I went to see a new neurologist who recommended Azelect and said most of her patients improve on this drug. I am on Medicare and the cost per month over $800. Has anyone tried this drug and had success with it? Do you know if the drug company has a discount program? My old neurologist told me that this drug has not been scientifically proven to be neuro-protective Any info or experience would be helpful.
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I have looked online and spoken to a few folks in the medical community. There is no valid info. about a generic version as yet.
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!
Ropinirole is the only thing that works for my restless legs. I take it 4 x a day. My neuroMD has me taking it by half dose middle if the day. Morning and bedtime I take a full 2mg l
