Still don't know how much the Azilect really helps. But my doctor says that it is supposed to slow down the progress of PD. So, I am afraid not to take it.

Advice & Tips:
I have taken Azilect for almost 2 years. I can't tell much difference in helping my symptoms. True, it may help in the long run, but in the short term, it hasn't help alleviate my PD symptoms.

Advice & Tips:
Although my neuro said that I would see immediate results, it was nearly 2 weeks before I saw anysignificant results. Before the 2 weeks, my progress on Azilect was uneven. My symptoms would get better and then worse than before.
It has now been 4 weeks. My progress still seems uneven/spotty.I believe that there is room for improvement. It is almost like Azilect is working, but not all the way.
