A Warning about Azilect!
With
Azilect

Azilect
any more. This was about 2 months ago and i have not had any depression at all. I am convinced it was the
Azilect
nothing else has change.

Medicine kicking in late and wearing off early
Presently I am taking Carbadopa/Levodopa 25/100MG Tab 4 times a day; Trihexyphenidyl Tab 2MG 4 times a day; and
Azilect
1MG once a day. My biggest problem lately are the drugs kicking in late and also wearing off early. This is my first post ever. I am curious what other PD folks are experiencing.

Benadryl in stead of Trazodone for sleeping
Once I started
Azilect
I started reducing the Trazodone by 50 mg for 3 weeks and now take 1 over the counter Benadryl each night and it is working better than the Trazodone did. I just wanted to share that and see what others say about taking Benadryl to get to sleep.

Healthy Bladder and Kidneys and Azilect
Now, I am again "peeing like a race horse" and I guess that issue was maybe a side-effect of
Azilect
. This made me believe that I should perform a trial return to the original strength of 0.5 mg
Azilect
/day.

Lets talk about levadopa. While it is reputed to be the most valuable medication in PD it can cause dyskinesia which alarms me.
The course of treatment I have chosen is
Azilect
, which may slow progression, and exercise, which has helped tremendously. Personally, I hope I can keep PD from developing further so that I won't need to start C/L. I am also actively researching new trials and hope to engage in one soon.

Question to those taking Azilect: How effective has Azilect been for you? Have you found that the effect diminishes over time?
I appreciate any feedback here, taking
Azilect
with good results but my neuro mentioned drug does not seem to have same benefit over time. Is this true?

Post Azilect administration, b/p bumps up for a few hrs
I hope this works out because I feel that
Azilect
has helped control my PD and I've only taken it for a couple months.

Azilect
If you take
Azilect
I would be interested to know your thoughts about this.

Sometimes you never know how bad you've been feeling until you start feeling better.
The
Azilect
and Sinemet has turned my life around. I didn't know how much I hurt until it stopped hurting. I didn't know how stiff I was until I loosened up. I didn't know how good it feels to not be depressed and actually feel happy again.

Azilect 1 mg dose divided(?) in two. What's the schedule
I found I was becoming hypertensive starting a couple of hours after taking the 1 mg
Azilect
on an empty stomach-no food interaction. I then researched and read that Azilect's half-life or peak of absorption is around 3 hours so
Azilect
is just doing what
Azilect
is known to do.

Placebo effect or medication effect?
I've been taking Sinemet for almost a month now and
Azilect
for a week, and my symptoms are much improved. My Neurologist gave me a tentative diagnosis of having Parkinson Disease. How do I know if it is not a placebo effect that I'm having?

Lexapro and azilect
Has anybody taken
azilect
.5 milligrams while also taking an antidepressant like Lexapro? From what I read it is not advisable as it can cause serotonin overdose. Also, does
azilect
exacerbate the effects of dyskinesia?

Body pain not a symptom of PD?
He gave me a subscription for
Azilect
in addition to the carb/levo and wants to see me in 4 months unless there are new developments that brings me in sooner. Is this the normal course of events?

Azilect - take it in the evening or in the morning?
Not sure if this is due to
Azilect
or if I would have a better result if I took
Azilect
in the morning instead of the evening. The bottle says "may cause drowsiness" which is why I take in the evening.

Take nothing for granted. Try anything that that will not harm you and keep a diary.
At that time i was taking carbidopa levodopa,
azilect
and Requip. To my surprise all the night time problems went away. I handle stress as good as i ever did and I am like i was 10 years ago.

A question about Azilect
I have stopped taking
azilect
which i have taken for almost 11 years and my emotions are back to normal. Has any one had this happen to them. Are you taking
azilect
and having a similar problem? This is a picture i did of Saturn from my back yard,using a 8 inch diameter telescope and a web cam.

Azilect
I know
azilect
is recommended worldwide for pd, but I wonder- who has taken it,
azilect
alone, without any other addition of pd meds; and for how long was it the only pd med taken before layering in other pd meds? And did it help with tremors when taken alone?
