I am taking 100 mg Amantadine three times daily. I began the medication about 6 weeks ago, starting with one capsule daily for four days, then two daily for two weeks, then three daily. I have had no side effects. A few days after moving to two caps per day, I noticed less rigidity in my left arm and hand. This improved further so that it is now not much worse than my right arm, which seems unaffected by PD. Then, a few days after going to three caps per day, my gait, which had been quite irregular since January, improved significantly. It is still not perfect, but much more manageable.
