Crhis,

I cut down Amantadine by half because my head began to buzz. My ears seemed to hear through a layer of wool, and the buzzing inside my head seemed to reverberate. AND I had visual disturbances - I saw pink and green lace patterns on the ceiling when I did my lying down stretches, and in the sink and bath tub. The patterns were very pretty, very symmetric, but after a while I decided that I'd be better off without seeing them.
I continued with the 100 mg for another year for the sake of my balance, but stopping now seems not to have made my balance much worse - a little maybe. Since I stopped I have had a couple of little falls - in situ, you could say. One moment I'm standing, next moment my left leg buckles and I'm down - on my left hip and left bum every time. I just list left.

I'm beginning to know what addiction feels like. I love those little yellow carb/lev pills....
