I couldn’t tolerate regular strength amantadine, had terrible side effects but about 8 months ago my neurologist started me on low-dose time release amantadibe, called Gocovry, and it’s helped my dyskinesia dramatically without side effects.

Yes, I have used Amantadine for over a year now for dyskinesia. I definitely believe it has helped me. I do have to take it separately from my carbidopa/levidopa meds though - maybe an hour or two after those meds.

David, there's a little owl in your post, looks hungry, have you fed him ? Oh yes is my answer. Don't use now because I'm on Duodopa pump.
