Hi all!

Does anyone have any kind of opinion or history on taking Azilect (Rasagiline)? Dr. wants to start me on 0.5 mg to start.

Any info would be great. Thanks.

Yes! I took a similar drug (Selegiline) for 8 years at which point I was able to stop taking any Pd drugs. That was in 2002 and I am now 86 and have been Pd-drug-free since then and am living a good life.

If you want to know my full story then send me you email address and I will send you my videos and a whole lot of info, at no cost.

Update!

On my second day with this medicine and quite frankly I’m not sure what I’m supposed to feel? Is it supposed to happen right away or is this a stacker type of medication?

My dcotor recommended it too and I experienced uncontrollable dyskinesias. I stopped taking it.
