What I have read so far suggests that Amantadine is indeed Neuroprotective

Treatment with amantadine delays L-dopa-induced dyskinesia onset more than treatment with other symptomatic agents

Could early treatment with amantadine delay L-dopa-induced dyskinesia onset more than treatment with other symptomatic agents (anticholinergics or MAO-B inhibitors)?

HOW CAN I REDUCE MY DYSKINESIA?

I take amantadine which helps, but not enough to enable me to walk safely. Please, if you have tried anything that helps you reduce your dyskinesia that you can share I will be very grateful.

DRUG REPURPOSING - DOES IT WORK? by Dr. Simon Stott

Amantadine gained new life, however, following an incidental observation in 1969, which led to it being repurposed for Parkinson’s: A woman with Parkinson’s was administered amantadine to help treat an influenza infection.

However, amantadine was associated with a significant increase in nocturnal activity and poorer sleep, while PD13R did not affect the animals’ sleep.

Any advice about weaning off of levodopa and starting amantadine.

I have developed dyskinesia and doctors tried reducing levodopa thinking I was getting too much but dyskinesia persisted.

COVID brain impact similar to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Google put me onto Amantadine, which used to work, or maybe I've developed a tolerance. I couldn't get prescribed Methylphenidate. Modafinil works to a good extent but my insurance wouldn't pay for it so I have to buy online.

Sudden loss of ability to move?

The doctors had NO answers (they were pretty useless, actually) and the only theory we came up with was that my husband reacted to a new antibiotic he'd been on for a week--because that's the exact time period it took him to react to the Amantadine.

ARE YOU A NON TREMOR DOMINANT PD PATIENT WITH DYSKINESIA? IF SO, PLEASE HELP.

He hasn't thought of Amantadine yet. He also does not think reducing the medication would help. What have you tried to alleviate your dyskinesia? I am YOPD patient. Your replies would be appreciated.

Eyes closing after medication

She is taking 2 drugs, co-benelopa and Amantadine. We have noticed that within 30 minutes of taking co-benelopa her eyes will close shut and it takes about another 30 minutes for her to be able to open them again (and stay open).

AMANTADINE FOR DYSKINESIA. HAVE YOU AN EXPERIENCE WITH THIS DRUG? PLEASE HELP.

Hi, I might consider this drug for Dyskinesia, if it gets too severe. My MDS is a little reluctant to prescribe it, because he says it may cause insomnia. Nevertheless, is this drug working for your dyskinesia? How long before it started working for you? My doctor said it could take 4 to 8 weeks.
