dear therese,

-was not on it that long?
except for the itchy red -to brightly pink bumpy rash it left all about my face arms and neck... I cant say it was a "favorite".
have you read the adverse reaction page?

PS: redrash -blotchy purple legs is an adverse reaction -not to be taken lightly...that is why the doctor took me off of it.

this is what amantadine is -
