azilect is a mao inhibiter. i am sending this just as an FYI since many PD patients take this. MAOI's require a special diet. look up mao inhihibiters.
azilect was the first PD med prescribed to me when diagnosed 3 yrs. ago. i am
bi-polar and my current psychiatrist doesn't like that i am taking an mao inhibiter. mao inhibiters are used as psychiatric drugs usually pescribed after the others were tried without results. but when prescribing Azilect for PD i am not certain the PD doctors are as familiar with the MAOI grouping of this drug as psychiatrists.
i am doing pretty well with carbidopa/lea dopa and azilect so will continue to take it.
but i have taken it for 3 years when it might have been contraindicated for me.
