Has anyone tried amantidine for more energy? My neuro prescribed it but haven't tried it yet. I've heard good things about it from one person.

I only see it as a Parkinson drug and no longer approved for that use in the US (FDA). From Wikipedia "A 2003 Cochrane review concluded evidence was inadequate to support the use of amantadine for Parkinson's disease" also from MS Society "It has been demonstrated that this amantadine, through some unknown mechanism, is sometimes effective in relieving fatigue in multiple sclerosis." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amant...
