Somehow I don't think that your doctor prescribed amantadine if he had any doubts as to your safety on it. Trust your doctor and you will be fine.

> I have recently started taking Amantidine (100 mgs) in the AM in order to increase the effect of the Stimulants I'm on for ADD without increase in anxiety. I'm currently taking Concerta (54mgs 9AM and 18 mgs 2pm); (Dexidrine Spansules 15mgs 9AM and 10mgs 10pm); and Celexa (30mgs, pm) in addition to the amantadine. Nosing around on the net I found that individuals taking amantidine and stims at the same time should be closely monitered as there is a risk of cardiac arrest. I'm 25 and weigh 230 lbs or so.
