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.

I like the fact that the Azilect does not have any side-effects, which sorta makes up for the Mirapex.

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.

Advice & Tips
It is difficult to determine how effective a treatment is in slowing progression of Parkinson's disease in just one person. Therefore by seeing little or no change, that might actually be a good thing in determining the effectiveness of Azilect (rasagiline)
avoid foods high in tyramine. discontinue this drug for 14 days before having any medical or dental treatments or surgery. you will need to wait 14 days before beginning to tke medicines(for depression, anxiety, pain,cough,congestion, or muscle relaxant).
