d morning everyone, =0AMy neurologist is strongly encouraging that I switch=
 to Azilect as it has some record of slowing the progression of PD. (I'm 38=
 and recently diagnosed with YOPD) I'm a little freaked by all the contrain=
dications and side effects and am having difficulty finding unbiased consis=
tent information on the drug. Has anyone out there taken Azilect? Does it i=
ndeed slow the progression? Any thoughts or opinions?=0AThanks,Jen=A0 =A0=
