I've been prescribed Amantadine 100mg tablets for my Parkinson's symptoms, specifically for stiffness and tremors. I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects, especially the more serious ones like hallucinations and seizures. Has anyone here taken this medication? What were your experiences? Did you encounter any of the severe side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? I'd love to hear from anyone who has gone through this. Also, did anyone notice any improvements in their symptoms? And is it true that it can also be used for flu, I am wondering if it is possible to prescribe it for that reason and if there are any side effects specific to that use case.

Man, I've been taking Amantadine 50mg/5ml Oral Solution for the better part of a year. It's helped a lot with the tremors and stiffness from Parkinson's, but I've had these weird vivid dreams that are pretty unsettling. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried, or is it just a minor side effect? I've also heard that it can help with the flu, but I'm not sure how effective it would be in that regard. Any thoughts from people who might have used it for that? Also, I'm curious to know the experiences of those who have used this to manage drug-induced movement disorders. Did you find it helpful in the long run, and if so, what does the journey look like?

I recently started taking Amantadine 100mg capsules for my Parkinson's symptoms, and I've been experiencing some vivid dreams and occasional dizziness. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences or any other unusual side effects? How did you manage them? Also, I'm curious about its historical use in treating the flu and why it's not used for that anymore. Any insights would be much appreciated!
