Symmetrel/Amantadine (Mantadix) taken concurrently with LDN.

[Guest guest]

Hello.

I just searched the back log database of postings to see if anyone talks about

being on

Symmetrel (it's marketed as Mantadix where I am in France) WHILE taking LDN. I

saw that a

few of you had mentioned using it before getting on LDN...just wondering if

anyone has any

infomation, warnings, general experience to share about being on the both at the

same time.

My neuro here has suggested I give it a try...she knows that I'm taking LDN and

is

sympathetic, but doesn't know much about it (I still have a year's supply left,

and don't even

know if she could prescribe LDN in France.)

Any help would be very much appreciated. I've been all over the net looking for

info, but my

search hasn't yielded much in regards to the combination.

All the best, and Thanks!

, I have been on LDN 4.5mg for nearly 3 years. One year ago I went to a new doctor who really believes that there is something to the viral/MS theory. He put me on Amantadine at that time. There was no contraindication with the LDN, but the Amantadine can cause mobility problems. I was stiff anyway, but that drug made me MUCH stiffer. Is your doctor wanting you to take a antiviral drug? If so, there are others to try.

hi marcie.

thanks for sharing your experience. to answer your question, my doctor told me

that it was a

drug given to people with parkinson's to help with fatigue, and that there had

been some

success with it for people with MS. she was specifically trying to address my

overall

weakness, which has been getting worse.

I tried amantadine for MS related fatigue. The stuff put me down on

the floor, icepacks around me to cool me off, then I had to stagger

to the toilet to throw up. I was also so stiff it felt like rigor-

mortis was moving in. At one time I could stand straight up and

bend over to touch my palms to the floor. Not anymore. Tried to

stretch, but no luck. The amantadine is serious stuff.

HELP!

, You may want to try it, but if you notice increased stiffness or just feel terrible, you will know that it is the Amantadine. I have a friend who says it has helped her tremendously. Good Luck, Marcie thepapineau <thepapineau@...> wrote: hi marcie.thanks for sharing your experience. to answer

Hi,

I used to take baclofen and noticed I was getting weaker and weaker. It

was hard to open a bottle of water or an office door. I realized that

the drug was the cause. I weaned myself off and have had noticeable

improvements!
