Hi Greg
A note about Amantadine side effects

The blotches are under the skin and they are purple in colour.
On feet and legs up to knees.
Mine came and went according to  the temperature f the room.The skin
appeared normal. They faded when the amantadine was stopped

My continuing red patch is on the skin and developed from a little
spot with what looked like a rash
The little spot continued long after Amantadine was stopped and
gradually got worse
