Hi

I am on requip (9mg/day). Given the recent positive results of the MAO Inhibitor Azilect (rasagiline) I am keen to try it. I know the positive results are from manufacturer's trials but frankly if there is a sniff it will help then I want to try it.

Rasagilene is generally a monotherapy in early stage PD and my neuro has advised against my request because in his view it is requip or rasagilene not both. However I am aware of at least one other person who is relatively early stage and is on both requip (10mg/day) and selegiline (another MAO Inhibitor).

Has anyone else any experience of this?
Does anyone know why my neuro advises against?
Is there any difference between selegiline and rasagiline?

Cheers
Bryn
