Hang in there. It is hard to get used to this...and there are good days and bad days! I had a better day today...went into a cell phone store for 15 minutes and was able to purchase something. Could not have done that 9 months ago. Progress! Baby steps all the time. Take care.

I checked out Amantidine, and it's listed as an antiviral drug, which is weird! I guess this must be one of its secondary uses? It actually has no drug interactions with Adderall, which is an amphetamine. I'm considering trying a new ADHD med, unless my doc has another idea or thinks the Amantidine might work for me.
Congrats on your progress! It's been 2 1/2 years since my first PCS symptoms and 8 months since the car accident that led to my diagnosis. I remember what it was like trying to go to Carter's to buy some clothes for my baby and feeling like the saleswoman was looking at me like I was from another planet because I felt like i WAS on another planet. I've come so far since then. I believe I'm getting better, and you are too! PCS is just such a difficult constellation of symptoms that it's hard to keep a good perspective. I find coming to this site to be helpful in that respect, so thanks!
Today WILL be a good day!
