Burgle, have you started Azilect?

Sorry, I can't answer your question, but I'd like to add one of my own. Per my post, I am on Sinemet and my PD specialist wants me to add 1 mg of Azilect. I haven't started it. The RX sheet doesn't mention it and the nurse says not to worry about it, but the manufacturer's website and other websites indicate cases of extreme high blood pressure after eating aged cheese, cured or preserved meats like ham, egg plant and other of my favorite foods. Does anyone have any insight? I'm even supposed to avoid leftovers - my wife would go nuts.

I bet the Docs just hate those of us who have the computer smarts to check things like the manufactures statement or refer to the literature on a certain subject! I do it and then I wonder if the Doc has positive or negative thoughts about our searching. As a teacher, I thought it kept me on my toes when someone referred to new material I had not included in my lecture.

I would hope they would appreciate our being able to ask smarter questions and not just second guess them 'cause the info isn't going away.<br><br>Steve
