In reply to Amantadine work for anybody?, posted by anita on September 18, 2000, at 1:55:45

Hi Anita,

Saw my pdoc the same day I read your post. Had
to get off serzone, and asked about it. I was taking 50 mg serzone and 10 to 20 mg adderall(twice daily) sometimes with topomax. The serzone was wiping me out, so I substituted it for
left over prozac. Therefore, I was taking the prozac and adderall.

I cannot take any ADs that slow me down.

I inquired about the amantadine, and my doc stated
it may be a good med to try. He indicated he
sometimes prescribes it to children with ADD.

I've also read it was used in trials for hepatitis c and some other type of virus.
Since I have epstein barr, what the heck, if it
kills the virus and helps with the depression, great!

It is day 4 and I have dropped the adderall and
take the prozac and amantadine.

My experience so far is that I feel a little anxious. I drink coffee and have been under the
gun to pass an exam. My focus has not been
disrupted, nor do I have any sleepiness.
The bottle says it may impair the ability to drive and don't drink. With these comments, I
was prepared to be a little tired.

I will give this time for the anxiety to go away.

Otherwise, I will go back to the adderrall.

Nothing except effexor has ever made that "cloud"
go away. I can't take effexor.

No one medicine works totally with the depression,
taking away the cloud, focus and energy.

Let me know your results.

Good Luck,
Sassy
