I'm new here

[starfire27345]

I was just prescribed a new medicine (Amantadine 100 mg). I would appreciate any feedback if anyone has been taking it. I am concerned about side effects and all that you know about it.

Thank you in advance for answering my question.

What a troll

I am taking Amantadine for approximately 8 yrs. My neuro put me on it for dyskensia & it did help & I did not have any side effects, some people do though. I'm having some dyskensia now because a substitute neuro doubled my C/L, but I'm reducing the C/L & the dyskensia is much better.

thank you for your response. That has been very helpful

I am taking 100 mg twice a day and have had no side effects. I’ve been taking that for probably a year and a half. They are just now coming out with a time release amantadine that I want to try at some point in the near future.

[starfire27345 in reply to Enidah]

Thank you for your prompt response. My neurologist gave me this one. Perhaps it was because the time release was too new.

[LagLag37 in reply to Enidah]

Hi Enidah. I know it’s been a long time. Are you still taking Amantadine?

[Enidah in reply to LagLag37]

I am still taking amantadine. 100 mg in the morning and another 100 mg midday. I kept wondering if it was beneficial and recently I forgot to take it two times in a row and my dyskinesia was definitely much worse. So that question got answered.Good to hear from you.

I did try the Gocovri, the time release amantidine, and it did not work for me at all. I ended up falling it made me so unsteady on my feet. Just getting the mail was scary so ...another one bites the dust. ☹️

[LagLag37 in reply to Enidah]

I’m thinking of switching back to Amantadine from Gocovri because of it’s cost. Approximately $962 to $3,400 per month. I’m getting a special discount of $20 per month but it’s ends soon and I can’t afford the $3,400. Thanks for your reply!

Take care and keep fighting!

I take it 2 to 3 times/day. No side effects. Does not seem to help tremors. I’ve been on it for 2 years. Helps me stay focused in the morning. Also good to guard against flu.
