Symmetrel (Amantadine)
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2014 3:17 pm
Hello all
I haven't been on in a while and was wondering out there if anyone has tried Symmetrel (Amantadine) As quiet a few of you know I have tried several medications that either caused worsening of my RLS or not help at all.
I know several of you have tried several things here and hope that one has tried this medication. I have a new Doctor now and she wants to try some new things to help me. My RLS is becoming worse, where it is starting to happen earlier in the evening while sitting in my chair and causing more sleepiness in the morning. It is becoming harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning from lack of sleep.
My RLS has been diagnosed at movement every 6 mins while sleeping and I think now that has increased. I take wellbutrin and gabapentin now but that is because of other uses rather than the RLS. I am sure it helps some but not enough to cause limiting effects of the RLS.
So if any of you have any experience of this medication I would appreciate your response.
Thanks a million
