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.
Maybe stiff, akinetic parkies get better results from Azilect than tremor-dominant ones. We're all so different, but I stand by what I said, I am having an overall improvement of my symptons (not sure about balance), to include better mood, plus a relief from levadopa-induced dyskinesia.
As you say, I finish my meals at the same time as everyone else.
