I am taking eldepryl and amantadine, plus parlodel. The combination seems to be working well. My Parkinsons is also relatively mild, although before I started taking the amantadine and parlodel I couldn't roll over in bed without a lot of effort, couldn't button my shirt, had trouble getting in and out of chairs, etc. My only problem with amantadine is that it's constipating, for which I take propulsid.
