takes a while to adjust to higher dose. found this to be an effective drug and worth the adjustment period Published: October 25, 2007 ::
with this drug my tremors and propulsion is less. more self confidence.dysuria is also less. subjective well being is more. BUT its very costly Published: December 15, 2008 ::
Took this after Neupro patch was recalled. During and after adjustment, experienced more syptoms of Parkinsons that weren't an issue. Drowsiness, decreased mental speed, decreased physical speed, stiffness, and aches were all new symptoms. Never had 'Parkinsons Mask' until I took this drug. 3 days after discontinuing the Azilect, I am myself again-moving better, no aches, mentally clearer. Was almost as though taking this medication literally gave me Parkinsons! I suddenly had outward symptoms that I'd never experienced before. I hear for some this med works well, but I fear someone may do as I did, mistake the side effects for the disease. After discontinuing Azilect, I am back to my old self. Published: August 05, 2008 ::

My tremors greatly improved after starting on this medication. I had taken Senemet and Requip and neither helped at all. Published: December 27, 2007 ::
I was diagnosed several month ago and put on Azalect..I had some memory problems then but they seem to have spiraled out of control. I have trouble recalling words, i forget easily..Has anyone else experienced this? My Dr. didn't think it was the drug. Published: May 14, 2009 ::
I have been quite pleased with my results thus far. Published: December 17, 2007 ::
Have only been taking for a week, but seems to be o.k. I have been a little dizzy but not sure if it is a reaction or could be sinus. Published: December 12, 2007 ::
I was diagnosed only a month ago and immediately began Azilect. I'm still trying to understand Parkinsons while at the same time trying to figure out what Azilect is doing for and to me. I have real balance issues. My hands tremor some. I have noticed that since starting the meds I am tired all the time. What I hope for most from the Azilect is help with my cognitive issues.

I am not sure what it was supposed to do other than retard the progression and it aappears to have worked well. I have developed slight tremors but not as bad as I had expected. I am noticing a slight difficulty in my walking although. Published: May 25, 2008 ::
