For Parkinson's Disease "I am having nightmares, hallucinations, swollen ankles, legs with spots, falling down, sudden sleep, itchy skin. Also, shock at the fact that the cost went from $7 per 90 tabs to $249 for 180 in just 18 months. Will not continue due to cost. This is what I pay after Humana says they pay."

For Parkinson's Disease "I've only been on Amantadine for six weeks for dystonia/dystonic tremors/probable early onset of Parkinson's, and the Symmetrel has helped the tremors tremendously. There are side effects, i.e., dizziness, imbalance, strange dreams, dry mouth."

For Parkinson's Disease "I hear that it only works in 50% of people who take it. I must be one of the lucky ones. Taking it along with Sinemet really takes care of me. And no dosage shifting, plus slows down dyskinesia from Sinemet. You can take a 'medication holiday' with this medicine and restart in a few days to reinvent the good results or test to see if it is working for you."
