Experiences with

Azilect

Anyone take azilect later in the day?

My mom was on sinemet (25/100) 4 times a say with azilect up till September 2020. She switched to rytary 36/145 4x a day. By October, her blood pressure was very low so we added midrodine. We also switched from azilect to xadago but after 2 weeks she had more falls so we switched back to azilect.

Amantadine sulphate - I was diagnosed with PD a few months ago (45 yo) and have been on Sifrol, (Mirapex), Azilect and Dekinet (Biperiden)Due to cognitive memory issues my doctor reduced the level of dekinet and it helped. It also slowly led to a regression of tremors and right hand weakness.

You those of you who got off of azilect did you do it cold turkey? Taper down? And bad side effects of getting off?

I have read a lot of conflicting information about Azilect. Some say it slows progress. Some say it does not. I am not yet on medication.

In my 5th year and thus far, I’ve been taking Mucuna, azilect and Neupro patch still doing well with slow progression with symptoms only on the left side. I exercise daily work full-time and lead a normal life. I have no off time, my symptoms are pretty much the same all the time.

He was prescribed Madopar and azilect. He is also doing B1 and a myriad of vitamins. Just seems like he's hitting a brick wall, esp after 3PM and it kills me! Thanks for any advice Cheers Mel

Has anyone experienced increased tremors or other side effects when taking Amlodipine/ Carb/Levo and Azilect together.

We are also wondering if there are any pwps who have followed John Pepper's example by switching to Azilect. In our case, this requires first phasing out Rytary, and then phasing out duloxetine before starting on Azilect due to contraindication of Azilect with duloxetine.

Hi has anyone used CiproFloxacin with Azilect? I have a complicated UTI and need to know if there is any clash between these two drugs. Appreciate to share your info.

I am presently taking carb/Levo 1 and 1/2 tablet 4 times a day and Azilect 1mg once a day.

This is a long way of asking if anyone knows about the process of getting of Rasaginline/Azilect? I find it fascinating that depression is listed as a main side effect.

My meds (a Madopar, an Azilect and a Ropinerole), didn't work at all. I was and remain amazed at the difference between one day and the next. What changed? The only thing I can think of is that for the hour between taking meds and breakfast, I lay in bed and read.

I take mucuna only(and many supplements)). until 3 wks ago when I started one half Azilect as welL I was feeling fairly good except for thinking and memory issues on Azilect. They concerned me enough that I decided to taper off Azilect.

I have Parkinsonism and take semenet ,paracetamol,antripalene ,pregablin and azilect.

Started on Azilect and then added 8mg of Requip and I still take these in the morning. 3 years ago added 300mg of Madopar per day but only stayed on this for a couple of months. I'd read about dyskinesia and also heard that Mucuna offered the same relief but didn't cause dyskinesia.

I just read that these are incompatible with certain types of PD medication such as Azilect. I wasn’t aware of this. Does anybody know which meds other than the one mentioned and WHY? Thanks

My meds are 2 x 2 madopar 125mg pills a day and 1 x azilect, no specific diet and maybe 1 night a week of crap ordinary sleep otherwise my sleep is ok. Over the last 6 weeks, I've had 5 days off, I'm working out from 5.30 in the morning to 7.00.

According to my doctor it's like Azilect but stronger and more effective. Any thoughts please? Like benefits verses side effect? I am hesitant to add any more drugs to my regime. I prefer taking supplements instead. Thanks.

I was on Azilect for about six months post diagnosis,before starting on sinemet and I also experience this symptom,during that time.I have complained to my MDS and he didn't do anything about it.He said as long as I am not incontinent. If you have this non motor symptom,how do you deal with this?
