Debbie, I just got off of Azilect. It was a little more expensive than Mirapex. When I started Azilect, I cut my Mirapex load in half (from 4 mg to 2 mg /day). I loved Azilect. However, I had two minor car accidents that might have been due to acute high blood pressure and my Dr told me to stop it. A week after I stopped, I had a much more serious car accident. So it probably wan't the Azilect after all. However, I've got a new neuro and she's doesn't appear so interested in using Azilect. Not sure why. My new neuro suspects that my accidents are due to a symptom of PD. Not sure what this symptom is supposed to be. The closest way to describe it is a very brief blackout while driving. I didn't know I had this blackout until 2 secs before I whacked the stopped car in front of me. Up until then, everything seemed fine. I had my foot on the brake applying pressure as usual when suddenly I was either too close or too fast. Anyone else encountered a problem like this?
