I am on Amantadine, Azilect, & Neupro. As for movement disorders, I would vote Amantadine the wonder Drug. I was able to walk 3 hours after taking.

Linda have you been on the patches (Neupro) long? It takes a while to adjust and get the full effect. Personally I would want to give it time before adding anything more.

Amantadine is an interesting med in that it was developed for flu and found by chance to help in Parkinsons.

Unfortunately we all have balance problems. Mine have got worse over time.
