“The three amino acids that are most effective at increasing dopamine levels are l-tyrosine, L-dopa, and phenylalanine.”

I’m learning other means of increasing dopamine to wean off of Azilect.

Hello. I’m new here.

I was prescribed Azilect (dopamine agonist) which I’ve been on since. My doctor said that the effectiveness of Azilect was a confirmation of Parkinson’s and he therefore did not pressure me to get a DAT scan (brain scan) to further confirm my PD diagnosis.

Edited: PD increases chance of RLS.(yes) Azilect worsens RLS.(wrong) Ambroxol, being an antihistamine I believe worsens RLS.(incorrect)

Azilect was not mentioned specifically but increasing dopamine is a “cause of RLS augmentation.” Levodopa increases augmentation meaning it makes RLS worse. So thinking Azilect does was not necessarily incorrect. If you have PD and develop RLS, well, it is horrid.

My 69 year old HwP has had tremor dominant PD for the past 7 years - taking only Azilect (that he started a year ago). The tremor is much worse, embarrassing him at work, so he needs more therapy. Shooting pain in one foot (and numbness in both) is another recent problem.

Interaction of Parkinson’s meds with heart meds

I take Ritary, Azilect and carb/lev and had heart valve replacement surgery at the end of August. Lots of side effects including hallucinations. Haven’t found much history on this but hear it common with PWP’s.. Mogul 1

Ambroxol is an antihistamine. High histamine associated with PD. Low histamine associated with RLS

My Pd improved so much I considered stopping Azilect. Doctor said no need to wean. Just stop. I did. I was fine for about 10 days and I was elated! Then it HIT. Internal tremors that felt like what I believe seizures are like. My head felt like it was bouncing on the pillow.

Restless Leg Syndrome RLS  long-term use dopamine agonists results in much worse RLS than before treatment,referred to as RLS augmentation.

I believe RASAGALINE Azilect has given me restless leg syndrome. Has anyone else had this experience? What I have read from various sources is that dopamine agonists are a short term fix for RLS but can make it much worse long term.

Stopping Azilect to change to Macuna? I need help.

When I started Azilect I did not have RLS. Now I do and it is getting worse. I’m very fearful that it is going to be what pushes me over the edge in to a downward trajectory because RLS = poor or no sleep.

Nausea with Azilect (rasagiline)

Hwp started Azilect a week ago and is quite nauseous from the med. Does the nausea get better with time? Have you found ways to mitigate this side effect that worked for you? Thank you in advance!

Any suggestions for managing this kind of dyskinesia?

Today I went back to my old regime of Madopar 100/25 3 times a day and 1 Azilect. I feel fine again - but the twitchy leg is back. If I take 2 a day with the up to 12 hour gap I don’t have off periods and the twitching is much less.

RLS and iron metabolism and treating with dopamine agonists causes dopamine burnout

I believe that Azilect, an MAOB inhibitor that increases available dopamine might be a cause of my having RLS. brain?“Inflammation – The Connecting Factor in Almost Every Restless Legs Case…”3.

Call for a more complete vitamins blood testing, especially b6.

This despite the initial effectiveness of the standard medication L/C (increased from 400/40 in a relatively short time to 1000/130) + Azilect.

Grapefruit & Azilect safe together?

Grapefruit and Azilect (MAO-B) safe interaction? Getting mixed input on web search. Looking at some supplements, and occasionally grapefruit pops up in the ingredients. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
