Default Symmetrel / amantadine

Hi there, my doc said symmetrel (amantadine) might be something for me. I'll get the syrup so it's easy to try different dosages.
I'm too afraid to use it, I've read the possible side-effects and since I already take a whole lot of drugs I'm a bit careful.
Especially the possible psychological side-effects scare me, since I already take a bunch of pills that mess with my head.

So, what I want to ask, is it possible with this medicine to start really low and slowly go to the prescribed dosage?
I know some medicine just don't work that way and you'll have to take the exact dosage or else it won't work (or worse, do something bad)

If my recommended dosage is 100 mg, is it ok to start at 10 (1 ml) and go from there?
I'm not asking for medical advice by the way, just wondering if someone did this so I can talk to my doc about ut.
