Experiences with

Amantadine

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

He is taking amantadine drug. I believe this can cause this kind of experience . Has anyone taken this ? Thank you for your insights!

Does anyone have experience with Amantadine? I was prescribed it but have concerns.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Sorry for the english, i always like to refer that i am not a native speaker. 48 years, first symptoms 14 years ago, DX 13 years ago Currently on 4,5x sinemet 25/100 1x amantadine 100 2x gel capsules Omega3 Vit D 5000 UI Vit B1 HCL 500 mg Mucura pruriens 1 capsule with the first and third sinemet

Has anyone here experienced significant tremor relief with Amantadine? What about side effects?

Anyone taking this and how are the side affects? Does it help? Thanks

I found dyskinesia appeared after 9 years of PD .After reading many PD group understand Amantadine can help for dyskinesia. But the problem is Amantadine is not available in our country. Can someone give me some advise on how to get this medicine? Many thanks, Nay

So, hoping to keep this way, or to improve, who knows… Current 3 + 1/2 sinemet 100mg; 2 amantadine 100mg; 1 mucuna capsule; Vit D 5000 ui; vit B1 HLC 1000mg; 2 omega3 gel capsules I increased amantadine from 1 to 2 capsules, following my neurologist advice, a seemed to stay more stable.

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.

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).

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.

(I’m taking Sinemet and Amantadine. I also get cervical problems after a cervical surgery in 2015). Kind regards. Keep safe.
