Gait issues as a side effect from Azilect?

I was prescribed Azilect in July of 2020, six weeks after taking it my walking became quite poor and has consistently gotten worse. Does anyone think I can assume it could be a side effect of the azilect?

You should discuss this issue with the prescriber of this medication.

I was prescibed it when I was diagnosed and by the end of the week I could barely walk to the end of the block. I stopped it and could walk again.

That's wild, I was diagnosed in July of 2020 and after 30 years of walking my dogs, it's almost too much effort, I am weaning off the azilect, and pray it is the reason. Thank you so much for your reply oh, I feel hopeful!
