I've been taking Amantadine for 6 yrs.  I, to, have had the swollen ankles.  Att
night when I remove my socks, I have about a 3/8" offset where the top of the
sock was.  Also, as Gina mentioned, my legs are as 'tight as a drum'.  Talking
to my MD and ND arouses no interest other than the ND said to drop the
Amantadine.  Only problem with that advice is that he hasn't come up with
anything that controls the arm/leg  tremor as well as Amantadine.  I was taking
2-100mg per day.  Have compromised.  I take 100mg per day and accept some
tremor.Still have swollen ankles but rarely get the flu:-)
