I don't know why your neuro is against it. My neuro would like me to take Azilect along with Requip and Stalevo. I took Azilect for about 2 1/2 months. I had a bad reaction the second day when I forgot and put grated cheddar cheese on my salad. After 2 1/2 months I was tired of avoiding cheeses and I did not see the Azilect as helping at all- it was during the time I was on Azilect that my Parkinson's symptoms began on my right side after having only been on the left side previously. So, when I had my next appointment, I told the neuro I did not want to keep taking it and he said ok. However, now he asks me at every appointment if I want to try it again.
