For Parkinson's Disease "Started Amantadine 4 weeks ago, 200 mg per day. Noticed immediately occasional dizziness and diarrhea after every 100 mg capsule, lost any desire to get up and do anything. Midway through the third week, I cut my dosage down to 100 mg capsule per day, taken every evening at 8 pm before bedtime, and that helped me sleep better and as well increased movement in arms and right leg and foot. Happy to say I am very pleased with the results!"
