I heard from a concussion advocate that amantandine has really helped him and he said
"the drug that turned out to be my salvation was Amantadine. It's an anti-viral drug that is also used on Parkinson's patients. It works to speed up the healing process. I was on it for a maximum of 6 months. It really worked wonders and was responsible for the most dramatic increase in my overall health"

I'm interested in the part that about working to speed up the healing process.

Thank you..

My 80 year old mom started Amantidine about 3 weeks ago and she still did not feel any change.She was diagnosed with PD about year ago after suffering small stroke closed by clot in her brain,
Now we are thinking to put her on Levodopa small dose but I am a little resistant due to dyskinesia as a side effect.
I wonder if anyone knows like after how many years or months of using Levodopa - the symptoms of dyskinesia will appear and are they reversible by stopping Levodopa and switching on some other type of PD medication. thank you !
