[QUOTE=Mom2PCS;1130783]
[I]We are willing to consider drugs, but also use chiropractic, essential oils, and nutritional supplements. I see that Amantadine is having some success with helping brain fogginess and concentration in early research. We are cautious when choosing to take drugs, mainly the side affects are usually overwhelming and add in additional issues to deal with. But after all these months we are more ready to do something to jump start recovery.
I have been taking Amantadine for two years and have had no problems with it. It is not a stimulant like Ritalin was, it increases alertness without over stimulation. I can tolerate and concentrate a lot more and handle stimulating environments.
It does not help or repair cognitive problems, but being more alert and aware of my surroundings. I can interact and have better conversations with others with more tolerance to mental fatigue.
I also take Creatine which also helps with mental stamina.
One 100mg every morning is enough for me, anymore as it interferes with the vital sleep and repair.
