Amantadine experiences?
 

I know this drug is off label treatment for concussions but my Dr. seems to think this could help me a lot. My main symptom is fogginess. I just started a new job where I have to get up at 5am, so by the time Friday comes, I'm usually feeling miserable.

Would appreciate hearing users experience on this drug and dosage they take. Do you crash on it? If you stopped taking it, how was withdrawal? Side effects?

Your doctor is right. It could help you a lot. But the term is COULD. It helps some and is worthless to others.

It is an anti-viral drug used for influenza A. It has helped some with Parkinson's.

Look up the side-effects and decide if it is worth it.

I have taken it a few times...most recently for 7 months....100 mg in the morning. When i stopped before (it can cause insomnia), i wen back to feelng so lethargic and a bit like a zombie.

I feel that it helps with energy, and my hyperacusis and auditory problems were not as bad.

I was prescribed 200 mg....but never got up there. I am happy with 100 mg.

The times i stopped, i tapered off over a two week period. I don't think there are withdrawal problems if you do that. (reported, of course!).

I recommend people try it...it has no side effects for me other than possible sleep issues....but i had them pre-amantadine!
Good luck!
