Hi Lippy,

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll get good advice and support here (I know I have over the last three years) and the website as a whole is a mine of information. I've been diagnosed nearly two years now. Is there any specific thing you'd like help with at the moment? Were you expecting the drug to get you back to being your old self perhaps?

As my most recent neuro has suggested I try amantadine for fatigue, I would be very interested in hearing how you are getting on with it. I'm glad it's having a positive effect on your walking. Have you had any side effects? Do you seem to have more get up and go?

Best wishes.

hi lippy, welcome to the forum what other symptoms do you have if anyone can help with advise they will, are you on any other meds. sue.

,Lippy,

I can't advise you about this, but this forum is very helpful and friendly,hope to see you around.

hello lippy, & welcome. I know very little about amantadine. May I suggest that you 'phone the helpline?(no at top left of page.) A nurse will 'phone you back & will answer your queries re medication.
I am pleased that is aiding your mobility
