Advice & Tips
I really can't see much of an improvement in my Parkinsons since I started taking Azilect, but I have to believe maybe it is delaying the progression of the disease. It doesn't seem to have any side effects so far. What's one more pill when you take hundreds more every month.

Advice & Tips
I may stop taking it because I don't know that it is helping me. My neurologist agrees that it is Ok to try without it to see if if is currently giving me benefits or not. There seem to be no side effects but I prefer to take as little medication as possible (and also save the high cost).

Advice & Tips
It lets me walk almost normally (once I get started) and permitted me to reduce Requip and some its negative effects. It is very expensive and causes my family to quickly reach my max out of pocket prescription costs of $1,500.00. So, for most of the year there is no cost to me, because my prescription insurance picks up all cost after we reach the Max.

Advice & Tips
have only taken azilect for 3 weeks. The headaches can be bad. but the positive side effect is the reduction of tremors which is noticeable by other people. I now need to weigh up if the side effects are worth the reduction of tremors. I will continue taking the tabs another month and then re evaluate how I think I am progressing. Impact on my life at present is not always feeling well 1st thing in the morning I take awhile to 'get going', . I like to keep a routine going I like to think will not give in to the disease.

Advice & Tips
I am currently taking Azilect 1mg every morning. I have now been reduced to taking Stalevo 100mg every four hours instead of every 3 1/2 hours, and I have pushed myself just a few times to taking Stalevo 100mg once in a 5 hour period. Azilect has been a great drug for me. I have slowly been able to drop the amount of Stalevo and stretch my "on" time. Stalevo and Azilect together have given me better mobility and I thank God every day for these two drugs because I can't tolerate a lot of other drugs like Mirapex and Requip.
