and too late for Friday appointment, but I will tell you anyway: Amantadine is wonderful.
At 100 mg per day it keeps my tremor under control, keeps dystonia away, helps my arm swing and gives me back my balance.
I love Amantadine! It does make my ankles purple, but that is a small price to pay for all its benefits.
I stopped taking it because of vanity - summer, sandals and bare ankles - and had a very unpleasant return of all the above symptoms.
I tried to substitute another half pill of 25/100 carb/lev for the Amantadine, but it didn't help, it only gave me offs. With Amantadine I don't have offs. As soon as I took Amantadine again, I felt as well as I did before I stopped it. I've cut out the extra carb/lev half pill now, I don't need more than 3 half carb/lev pills a day when I take Amantadine.
Absolutely positive here. I recommend it highly.
