   *Hi,*


*I take 200 mgs of Amantadine per day for fatigue and it's worked like a
charm.  Plus, I didn't have to wrangle with my insurance to get them to pay
for it.  Provigil would probably be a different story, insurance wise.*

Natalie thanks for the information.  I did go to the yahoo site and check it 
out.  Also thanks to Sandra and Larry for their information.

As I stated earlier I try to read all the posts daily, but more than that my 
wife has read everyone of the posts for the last 4 years.  She said it has 
helped her understand somewhat of what I go through.  Also she reads the post 
in hope of finding something that my help me.  She is always telling me that 
maybe we should try this or try that because so and so does it or uses it and 
it has really helped them.  She really looks out for me.  Sorry I wrote so much.

[TMIC] Amantadine

[Bill and Mollie Wimberly]

Hey here Happy Campers,

I have not posted in a long, long, time but I read the posts daily.  After 4 
years I am able to walk pretty decent but the pain and fatigue is still killing 
me.  I was reading the post from Cindy K and looked up the medication 
Amantadine.  No where could I find where it is used for fatigue.  I take 
Adderall and Provigil daily.  I believe the Adderall helps but I don't think 
the Provigil is doing much and it is VERY expensive.  Does anyone else use 
Amantadine for fatigue and do you believe it works.  If it does I am going to 
talk with my neurologist about changing to it.

I want to thank you guys for all the help you have been over the past 4 year 
whether you knew it or not..LOL.  I have received alot of great information 
from you guys and alot of supported when I needed and ask for it.  I pray each 
of you have a good night and tomorrow will be even better.

Go to www.yahoo.com and do a search using the words, Amantadine fatigue.
You will get lots of results that show amantadine's use in regards to
fatigue. It is used a lot for fatigue by people who have ms..

After replying to your email, I looked it up and found this statement:
Compartive studies between Amantadine and Pemoline (Cylert) have shown 
Amantadine to be more effective in treating MS fatigue. Other studies between 
L-Carnitine, essentially a herbal product, and Amantadine in treating fatigue 
in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) have shown L-Carnitine to be the more 
effective (Neuropsychobiology, 35:16-23).
