    2 years ago I transitioned from Azilect to Xadago and the change brought immediate relief from my primary symptom: rigidity. However, I noticed that Xadago’s effect lasted for approximately 12 hours, prompting me to take it around 9 PM to facilitate sleep. In August, my new neurologist discontinued Xadago to allow me to start Bupropion for my depression. Unfortunately after 3 weeks my legs have become excessively rigid, making sleep nearly impossible. Contrary to the doctor’s belief that increasing my carbidopa and levodopa dosage would compensate I find myself yearning to resume Xadago. Here’s to hoping for a swift restart.
