Hi, Jen,
I've been on Azilect a couple years. It definitely helps. I think it makes me alittle hyper, but w/o it I am worse, so I take that side effect. I totally ignore the food restrictions as my neurologist, who is Russian, says that is an "FDA thing" and they don't have that restriction in Europe. Now I guess the FDA is less concerned. I've not had any anesthetic since starting it--that might need to be worked with. I've progressed very slowly and am just now adding in amantadine. I think Studies showed of people taking Azilect avoided using Sinimet longer than those w/o--does that mean it slowed things? Who knows. I'm 52
Good luck. Kristin

Subject: Azilect question
Good morning everyone,
My neurologist is strongly encouraging that I switch to Azilect as it has some record of slowing the progression of PD. (I'm 38 and recently diagnosed with YOPD) I'm a little freaked by all the contraindications and side effects and am having difficulty finding unbiased consistent information on the drug. Has anyone out there taken Azilect? Does it indeed slow the progression? Any thoughts or opinions?
Thanks,Jen
