Hi Craig

There is no simple answer, as I have concluded that the unique feature of PD is that everyone is different, and medication that works for some doesn't work for others. The symptoms of PD also vary considerably - I don't have a tremor for example, but every day, not always at the same time,I have bouts of stiffness and freezing. Sometimes the medication kicks in, sometimes it doesn't.

Medication is a bit of a lottery, but hold the faith - it may work for you. Am I right in thinking that Azilect is designed to protect the dopamine that's left? In my case it replaced selegiline which had the same function. I can't say I noticed any major difference, but that's the story of my life with medication.
