"I was on Amantadine several years ago for at least a year or two before I was roped into expensive DMT drugs for MS. Now I have recently requested it from my new doctor since I am no longer on the MS drugs. I feel amazing!! 'Normal' like I was as a teenager normal."

"Two weeks ago, I began Amantadine for extreme fatigue from MS. Initially, pain increased all over, but it was explained to me that that was most likely from a return to moderate activity. I continued treatment and have noticed a marked improvement in cognitive functioning, ability to maintain focus and recall events with more ease. Social interactions are improved. Physically, I have been able to cook and do housework as I desire instead of being too tired. Pain is manageable with the current regimen. I am cautiously optimistic that this level of energy may continue and my quality of life may be greatly improved."

"I have Long-COVID and was placed on Amantadine by my Neuro-Ophthalmologist for the crippling fatigue and situational depression. It took a month to start feeling less fatigue. After 6 months, I have started to be much improved. Able to resume Activities of Daily Living and started to enjoy my life again."

"I have been on amantadine 2 times a day for 5 years. In the last year, I started getting pain in my right shoulder and left side after I take the amantadine. I have had all kinds of tests ran, and everything is normal. I am in the process of tapering off the medication. Hopefully, the symptoms will stop when I am completely off the medication. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this?"

"I have been on amantadine for 2 weeks now for MS fatigue. Had absolutely no change in my symptoms, and I certainly have not had insomnia, which I was warned about. Quite the opposite."
