I suspect many problems with amantadine result from doses that are too high. It's unfortunate that the pills come only in the one 100 mg size. I've been taking 45 mg (4.5 ml of 10 mg/ml amantadine syrup) every 8 hours (i.e., 3 times a day) for several years now. This dose controls the severe dyskinesia I used to get from my PD meds and does not give me any amantadine side effects.
The syrup is not as convenient as smaller pill doses would be, but it does allow careful dose titration, which can be very important when a med like amantadine has a narrow window between efficacy and side effects. |

So it may be the amantadine that causes my blurry vision? Is it permanent? It really works great for me but I didnt realize it would make me blind....there are more fun ways to do that!

I am currently in the process of titrating my Amantadine down from 300mg. I'm down to 100mg now. I had no problems or side effects at all with Amantadine, but just didn't think it was doing anything. I've also haven't had any issues as I decrease the dosage.
I take the 100mg pill. My only issue for those thinking of cutting these pills into 25mg dosages is that they're very small. It may be difficult to get them into even quarters. |
