Experiences with

Amantadine

I am scared of Levadopa and my doctor suggested I try Amantadine Sulphate. Does anyone have experience of it? Things to know? Side effects? Many thanks!!!

I was doing some research today, because I take amantadine, and wondered if it would be helpful warding off Covid as an antiviral. Found some encouraging news!

Anyway, I'd recently discovered Modafinil, and I asked for some Amantadine so I could compare how they affected my (crushing, overwhelming, phenomenal) fatigue. Amantadine works, but I wasn't overly impressed. I continued with the Modafinil.

I want to add Vinpocetine to my daily supplements but I’m concerned about any interactions with Amantadine and Rasagiline. Thank you my enlightened friends.

I have been taking Amantadine but it is not very effective for the severe dyskinesia I have been experiencing every morning. Someone in the forum mentioned Artane. Can you please tell me something about your experience with it?

Has anyone else heard of Amantadine for ADHD? Or used it?

"Amantadine is an antiviral medicine that blocks the actions of viruses in your body. Amantadine is used to treat or prevent influenza A in adults and children. Amantadine may not be effective during every flu season because certain strains of the virus may be resistant to this medicine.

She also added amantadine in the mix. What have your benefits been from taking the amantadine and how long did it take to start working?? Thanks everyone I always know I can count on the community when I have questions 😃

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?

stable now and got amantadine back.

I started with propranolol, then on to Sinemet then amantadine then ropinirole. Also tried CBD. Nothing helped so far. Then one week ago I had botox in the arm and wrist. So far no improvement. The next step might be Ceylon cinnamon. I just ordered some from Amazon.

Hello to All, Has anyone taken the drug Amantadine, brand name Symmetrel, to treat MS fatigue? I’ve been on it for a few days but unfortunately I had a pretty bad adverse reaction today and I will have to stop taking it.

Since November 17th I’m taking Amantadine, but I don’t feel any improvement concerning the freezing of gait. Is this normal? When is it supposed the medication have an effect? Many thanks.

A anti viral med that is used for PD ?

Hello all! Has anyone used this medication at all? Curious about reactions positive and negative. Thanks so much!

I currently take Amantadine 3x/day as my only PD med. My neurologist has been "pushing" me to start c/l. I have been reluctant , up until now. With worsening tremor, I think I might be ready. However, I would rather start on Mucuna. Does anyone have advice as to how to do this?

Hi, if you’ve had experience with taking Amantadine please share your information with me. I was doing well and had first appointment with MDS and she decreased my Rytary and took me off QUEtiapine Fumarate. I haven’t felt well since. Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Amantadine helps. Dysautonomia (ANS pathologies). Eg, elevated norepinephrine in periphery. Midface hypoplasia (eg, severe malocclusion, high arched palate). Also, I've come to believe: distorted development of my insular cortices and interconnected neural tissues.

I am also on Rasagiline and Amantadine but without the exercise they didn’t seem to do much. Maybe it’s the combo of drugs and exercise or is it exercise alone who knows.
