Are you experiencing an itchy scalp after starting amantadine for dyskinesia?

Amantadine is sometimes added to help manage dyskinesia caused by levodopa medications. While the search results discuss how amantadine can help treat dyskinesias, they don't specifically mention itchy scalp as a side effect reported by other members.

However, it's important to let your neurologist or healthcare provider know about this new symptom. They can help determine if it's related to the amantadine and whether adjusting your medication or trying a different approach might help.

Some MyParkinsonsTeam members have found that their doctors needed to adjust medications when side effects occurred, so speaking with your healthcare team about this itchy scalp is the best next step.
