tried azilect, started with .5mg, then 1mg for 2 weeks, felt worse after 3 weeks. clincher was vivid dreams, actually broke a lamp next to my bed fending off a "bad guy". might have done ok on .5mg but not going to retry right away.

btw, selegilene also seeing price increases as less suppliers but i assume with azilect less demand. i'd say less mfg's but with generics, some drug companies are just resellers, they don't actually mfg the drug, just repackage it.
