that I am receiving some benefit from the Azilect already. I have only been on this new medication (2 weeks of .5mg, and 1 week of 1.0mg) for a short time, but my gait has improved and I seem to be able to do things in less time. I walk faster, I am finishing my meals at the same time as everyone else at the table, and I have had no side effects that I can see. On the down side, it has done nothing for the tremor in my right hand, but I'll take what I can get. Hope others can get as much benefit as I am getting.
