I really want to know if Amantadine is worth taking. Possible side effects are many,of course, & I'm already taking so many meds. However the dyskinesia from Sinamet is awful too. I'm taking a new drug to stop side effects of original drug, Sinamet. It's all so individual how each of us responds & reacts to both the dis/ease of PD & the drugs to stop our symptoms. All replies welcome. I've just joined this forum today. Thx for listening. Sepora
Neuropatch and Amantadine did not work for me,going to be taking Requip for the severe cramps at night, we will see, I have had excessive sweating from the head for about 5 months now, it is embarrassing and just an outright PIA. any answers
I had awful tremors, so My dr. suggested I try Amantadine. He warned me that he hasn't had great results from his patients with this medication. I love it...it has given me my life back. Within a few days my tremors subsided to almost nothing. I can walk again and my on times are much much longer than my off times. I hope it can help you as it helped me. I am also on Sinamet and Miraplex. I have added you t my team.

I don't seem to be able to control my sweating, but my friends have gotten used to my looking like I just literally stepped out of the shower! I'm interested to know if anyone has the answer but it's good to know it's not uncommon for people with PD. Good luck, let me know if you find an answer!
Everyone is different.
How much carbidopa levodopa is to much before it starts to affect you fully ? I have dyskinesia only in my foot .
