Hi glama9,
No i don't take azilect, but I am thinking about it. I currently am taking Zoloft
(antidepressant) 50 mg per day. Teva, the mft. of Azilect states that the selectivity of Azilect at inhibiting MAO-B in humans has not been sufficiently established . Therefor, it's
use is restricted with Zoloft. In other words there is a drug-drug interaction between the two. [ not stated very clearly ]. I thing its ok but I will have to run it by my movement specialist.
Take care.

Teva is presenting the results of the Adagio trials tomorrow in Europe regarding the protective benefits of taking Azilect. Here's hoping for all of us!
I've taken Azilect since Jan - at first I didn't think it was doing anything and I still can't be certain - but a hardly ever have a tremor anymore - besides a gait issue which is unlike a PD gait my only PD symtpom is lack of arm swing. I take .5mg of azilect 1/d and 1mg of requip 3x/d
