@>Any good news about Amantadine? My mom just started on @>it and I wonder if we can look forward to any improvements @>from it. I know it is also an antiviral, and my pharmacist told @>me it was a better anti-parkinsons drug . Has anyone had @>any problems , or side-effects? @> Karen Cook @> [log in to unmask] My husband, Sid, used Amantadine in advanced Parkinson's very successfully. It helped enhance the effects of Sinemet and Parlodel and enabled him to reduce the amount he took of those two drugs. One precaution, however, it can very easily cause hallucinations. It has to be carefully administered and not taken too close to bedtime.
