Any updates to this one or any others regarding xadago and azilect. Does anyone know how you go about coming off azilect. Can you cut it down. I am worried about withdrawal symptoms if I just stop taking it as Doctor advised then a week later I was told to start xadago.

Thanks, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member: We haven't started it yet. Must get off another med first. It's a similar drug to Azilect, it's an (MaO-B) which was only FDA approved in USA in March 2017, but has been used in Europe since 2015 with good results. We're praying for good results.
