Does anyone know if the "new and improved" Amantadine has similar side effects?
Or does anyone know of something else that might be causing the swelling of my lower extremities? I take Sinemet, Comtan, Requip as my regular Parkinson's regime.

Peggy, I have a copy in my office of a presentation Adamas gave on the results for the Phase 2/3 EASED study recently completed. I focused on the efficacy results when I reviewed it and don't recall specific mention of that side effect. I'll take another look at it tomorrow. I've been using amantadine for two years with out any side effects at all. It definitely helps reduce my hand tremor.
