Side Effects for Symmetrel (amantadine hydrochloride)
None so far. Was extremely tired after awaking from coma following fatty embolism in brain from breaking hip and getting replacement. I was talking but had slow response. This medicine was able to perk me up enough to participate in physical therapy and continue to improve. Tried to go off but it really is improving my mental state.
Sexual dysfunction fr. antipsychoti
It's about as efficacious as Dostinex (.25mg twice weekly), which is to say I only receive partial remediation of my ED and anorgasmia caused by my anti psychotics. I am bipolar.
Brain fog, dizziness at the beginning, went away in a week.
Took one in the morning and one at lunch. That one at lunch would make me have trouble falling to sleep at night. Now I take only one in the morning and it helps with my morning fatigue.
Severe depression and suicidal thoughts
I took this for one week and after three days I became weepy. It got gradually worse each day until by day 6 I could barely function and on day 7 was considering suicide. This was by far the worst week of my life. The symptoms ceased within 2 days of stopping the meds.
Nightmares, throat swelling, trouble sleeping, rash and itching
I took this medicine to relieve MS fatigue, and it worked great, but the side effects are not worth the improvement.

Began with Actonel. Felt poisoned. Doctor switched me to Fosamax. Still felt poisoned only started having acid reflux, difficulty swallowing. Stopped Fosamax. Doctor said try Boniva. Are you kidding? Did not tell him I had stopped Fosamax and never filled Boniva. Probably will not tell him I am not taking these meds as he intimidates me.
slight headache and nausea and no real benefit
Had terrible pain and knots in left butt cheek. Couldn't walk eventually. After 2.5 months she died in agony on morphine and opioids that didn't relieve the pain. She was doing pretty good prior to the last shot.
Tardive dyskinesis, weight gain, terrible mental health ( mental fog, slow thinking, poor coordination, excessive sleep) not able to function to my full potential...just a walking zombie....like being in a vegetative state.
It deeply saddens me that drugs such as Allegra are put on the market. I do not recall signing up my son to be a human guinea pig. One expects to take medication and help the ailment not to create a fiasco of problems. Mild side effect...Okay, but symptoms such as the ones that my son expereienced...hell no. Rule of Thumb for the FDA...very simple - if the risks outway the benefits do not approve the damn drug.
I take a very low dose and it has helped me a lot. I used to have panic attacks on the bus or in the grocery store; now I don't. It also improved my IBS symptoms. I feel a lot better.
its been 10 weeks since last dose ankles coming around a little,usally i always skipped weeks or months so never really noticed anything but this spring i took 3 doses in 11 weeks a week after the 3rd dose is when i really flared up
this drug has changed my life around. People say it doesn't work but it has been amazing for me. I had tried to commit suicide. Not only has it eased my crazy thinking, I have been able to replace the negative thinking with only positive upbeat thinking and it has changed my entire life perspective. We have to take some kind of responsibility for our behavior. The prozac helped me enough to realize that I was not behaving properly, that I was angry, that I was mean and spiteful. I decided to approach life with a totally new perspective. No judgements, letting go of anger, forgiving and accepting responsibility for actions, no gossip or drama. What a huge difference this has made in my life. I challenge everyone to try this!!! I feel great, I see life completely differently than I did when I tried to take my own life. It's still tough, life is hard, but when I don't blow the molehills up into mountains, it sure is different. When I stop beating myself up, it lets me control who is beating me up...and I don't allow it anymore.
