Experiences with

Amantadine

Has anyone tried this med? Dr added to carbo-levodopa for HwP..

I took amantadine and Augmentin and walked better.

has anyone taking amantadine experienced lLipo atrophy? All of my fat has disappeared, and my buttocks is flaccid. I read that early antiretrovirals could caus Lipo atrophy, and I wonder if amantadine could be doing the same.

I have intense itching on my back and stomach and toes an hour after taking amantadine and mucuna. I don’t know if it is an allergy. I also have significant Lipoatrophy which seems to be exacerbated with the amantadine and sinamer and mucuna… does this happen to anyone else?

Weight loss and amantadine I have lost all my fat I am Taking only amantadine. Has anyone else experienced this?

Has anyone else found amantadine caused them sleep problems.

So I’m getting back on amantadine tomorrow to try to fight that. I was on amantadine for about 17 years and got off a year ago. I didn’t know it was a major appetite suppressant, so since getting off I’ve put on a lot of weight. Hopefully starting it again will help with that as well.

I take amantadine and sinemet and selegine?? Thanks

At this point I feel like the amantadine is not working so I told my doctor I was going off of it. He said that was fine but there was nothing else to try. Now that I went off the amantadine the leg tremors and cramps have come back with a vengeance. I am beyond frustrated.

I also have been using Amantadine for the same thing but its effectiveness may have worn off. I was doing OK and then the company GlaxoSmithKline discontinued manufacturing Ropinirole.

Also . we observed that when she takes Amantadine her dystonia stops almost immediately after she takes them, but then with Ropinirole it doesn't. Is it ok to switch to Amantadine leaving out Ropinirole. I know both are dopamine agonists but I am not sure if we can do this.

I take 3 tablets of carbo / levodopa, 25 - 100mg, 3 - 4 times a day, I never take C/L after 5pm and I take Amantadine., 3pm, 5pm &7pm which controls the dyskinesia. I get plenty of exercise, but the feet shuffling is something new, any suggestions?

My Neurologist suggests Amantadine twice a day, but im concerned about the potential side effects. Would moving to or adding Controlled release Sinemet be a better starting point? Is there any other ways to reduce Dyskinesia? Thanks for any advice

Carbidopa and Levodopa and Amantadine

They are taking amantadine and pramipexole. Can B1 therapy help?

He continued to take trihexyphenidyl, selegiline, and amantadine. He was employed as an electrician. On September 11, 2001, he was working on the 34th floor of the first World Trade Center Tower attacked by a hijacked airplane.

So I tried amantadine but because of its side effects I can only take 1 per day. And it doesn't seem to help at any rate. So then I experimented with dosing of CL - minimize usage. But haven't been able to find a balance that works. Now I'm experimenting with Rytary. No luck yet.

My doctor wants me to take amantadine but I reluctant because of side affects. Anyone else taking this medication and what have your experiences been? Thanks
