Amantadine

[Foncie]

I’ve been on Amantadine for about 6 weeks and have felt worse than ever. Symptoms were worst I’ve ever had. Dry. Mouth, very dry eyes to the point of not being able to see. Starting seeing images all over my house, bad dreams. D/C per MDS, but.nothing to replace. Has anyone else had these issues?

It aggravated my my dry mouth also and that was sufficient reason to quit. With all the terrible adverse effects you are experiencing, why continue to take it, especially since you feel worse than ever?

MDS said decease slowly over a week. Tuesday will be my last day. Wondering what I will use for dyskinesia?

Which levadopa med are you taking?

[Foncie in reply to park_bear]

Rytary

[park_bear in reply to Foncie]

That is already a good time release medication. Other than reducing dosage, sorry I have no other idea.

Thank you for your response. I’ve discontinued as of yesterday.
