"I take an antipsychotic and had Parkinson's-like symptoms from that. The doctor put me on amantadine, and it seemed to help a little bit at first, but now I'm on a very high dose and I'm still having those symptoms. The one good thing I will say about this medication is that it didn't give me any side effects."
