Hi Coleen, I have been on Amantadine for about a month or so. Yes, it took a few days to adjust to. Seems all these medications we are take time to adjust to and all seem to have some level of adding to our already tired state. I take 300mg twice a day (am/pm) and will gradually increase as needed. All these meds seem to lose their significance eventually. If your hubby is not able to be on it, the MD will find an alternative that works similarly.
