Yes Dennis, I only took Amantadatine for 2 month and had to stop because of swelled up ankles, especially the left one. Before I stated Amantadine, my neuro told me that it might be one of the sideeffect, and asked me to call him imediately if it happened. Of course I called him when my especially left food and ankle was twice so big as normal, and he asked me to stop because it can cause an embolus ( I`m trying to translate so correct as possible) which was very dangerous. After I stopped Amatadine 2 month passed before my feet and ankles was normal size.
