Amantadine

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?

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