Hello, has anyone been prescribed Rasagaline for PD? I was given it by my initial neurologist but it was stopped by my current one. Would be interested in your opinions.
Hi, my husband is on rasagaline - it helps to keep as much of the brain’s dopamine but doesn’t increase the amount of dopamine. My husband is refusing any levadopa. I am not entirely sure how effective rasagaline is, his symptoms have definitely gone down hill in a year.
For the first two years after I was diagnosed in 2017 I was on rasagiline only. I don’t this it had any impact on my motor symptoms (mostly tremors) but it did eliminate my crippling anxiety. After two years I started on sinemet as well and after a few years of that developed severe dyskinesia so my Parkinsons Nurse recommended that I drop the rasagiline. This improved the dyskinesia but the anxiety returned. However I then started taking amantadine to treat the dyskinesia which also seemed to eliminate the anxiety!
(rasagaline) i found this drug game changer it helped my mobility. Also it’s meant to hold back progression pd
Hi, i was prescribed Rasagaline and found that the it was not helping. I became very tired and could drop off to sleep at any time. So it was discontinued and I’m just on sinemet now. X
Have you looked at add on drugs entacapone or opicaphone
