I've been on Azilect for 2 years maybe 3 now.

Your Frankenstein description is an apt one. It's like wearing a boot made of cement, my ankle doesn't bend and I have to drag my leg around. Like Egor only not so noticeable

I will talk to the doc, i just prefer to talk to you guys. I know what the doc will say, "medication affecs all PD'rs differently" or "let's up the dosage".

Are there conditions where l-dopa is contraindicated for PD like symptoms. I know schizophrenia is an excess of Dopamine and I'm reasonably sure I'm not dealing with that.

..and why is it PD isn't naturally occurring in other species, or is it maybe just not documented?

Thanks again for your responses and insight.

Robert
