Hi Fred,

 I took artane for about 8 years along with sinemet and my complaint
about it was short term memory loss and mental confusion.  But I have
been taking Amantadine for three years and I have had swollen feet and
ankles and an unexplained rash on my legs with that -

I felt better  in "general" while on artane.  I realize though,since I have
had  PD for almost 18 years (diagnosed at age of 37), that the way I feel
could have a lot to do with advancing disease. Sometimes we have to make
"trade-offs" with our medications and adjustments since we all seem to
respond a little differently with our disease.

I would be interested in hearing from others on the list regarding
their experiences with these two medications.

Best of  luck to you.
