I started Amantadine recently. I take Sinemet five times a day (the single tabs, two one and a half tabs), along with Mirapex. Because I have mild dyskinesia, my MDS doc said the Aman would hopefully help wiht the dys, in a attempt to hold it at bay for awhile so that it won't get worse sooner.

The only problem I have had is that I am starting to have "swelling of feet/ankles". I didn't realize it was the Aman until I did reading on the med. My dys is better...I will say that. I can sit in a chair and not sway and more around.
