Hi Chris,

The amantadine is being stopped because it is causing some mottling of my feet and ankles. Also, I have been taking amantadine for almost 3 years, and it is no longer giving me the help with my tremor. When I first started taking it, it seemed to work much better. I understand that some people stop it for a while, and then start it again at a later date.

Right now I am taking stalevo and requip every 8 hours, so the azilect is something I'm hoping will take the place of the amantadine. Fortunately everything I am taking seems to be working well. I am in my 9th year of Parkinsons and lucky to be progressing slowly compared to others I've corresponded with.
