Took for about 3 mo before switching to selegiline generic (due to cost/no insurance). Was a real help combined with leva/carbidopa, but luckily the selegiline is even better.

Started with AZilect three years ago as part of the clinical study. I think I was on 2mg daily (the individual patient results weren't released).I've continued with 2 mg but since the study results showed 1mg to be the optimum dose to be 1 mg I'm cutting back my dose. If anyone else is using it with early PD I would love to know your dose. No side effects.

Azilect seemed to give minor help. Most of my days and nights were painful with cramping, slowness of movement, shakiness, etc.
