I've been doing Amantadine since 2002. My meds all give me dry mouth so I haven't noticed Amantadine's dry mouth effect. It made me realize when I stopped taking it, it took me from dead to only half dead.

I insisted trying Provigil and think that like Ritalin has an adverse effect on hyper kids (as a stimulate does the opposite, brings them down, I think) My theory (this is an unproven therapy)that I'm a little hyper so it worked that way on me.

Provigil, a stimulate (Upper drug) for Narcoleptics, made me sleep. Who knows how things will effect us!
