Symmetrel (Amantadine)

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.

To fellow MSers

Has anyone used Amantadine (generic form of Symmetrel) for MS fatigue? My neurologist just prescribed this to me. 1 tsp. daily.

Thinking outside the box

A drug for Parkinson's - Symmetrel, is reported as going from £5 to £130 in the last 18 months. A drug used for epilepsy branded as Epanutin was unbranded in 2013, phentyoin sodium. The cost to the NHS has shot up from £2.3 million in 2013 to £50 million.

Is anyone else allergic to Sinemet?

I've worked my way through Symmetrel (Amantadine) and Cogentin (Benztropin Mesylate) and I used the Neupro patch successfully up until it was recalled in the US (2008). Right now I use a combination of long acting Requip (Ropinirol) and a transdermal Emsam (Selegeline) patch.

Drugs for Parkinson's- how do you spell their names?

The most commonly used drugs seem to be Madopar Sinemet Mirapexin also known as pramipexole Requip also known as ropinerole Symmetrel also known as amantadine CR after the first two means controlled release There are many other drugs that might be used, and it's confusing
