Has Anyone Switched From Rasagiline To Safinamide?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Stoke-on-Trent, UK

Parkinson's Nurse has me on two weeks flush-out of Rasagaline before starting Safinamide on the 24th. Doesn't seem to be affecting me much. I just wondered if the change was worth it. Looking for personal experiences, NOT studies.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member yeah came as a surprise to me too. I am trying to get more information/second opinion as we speak.

I'm asking them to confirm. Trying to have a period of doing what they say to try and dispel this image they have that I'm "addicted to L-Dopa.

Yep, looks like I'm first. Wonder if it's a UK only thing? I think from what I see posted here the States prescribe Amantadine to do what Rasagaline does.
