I have fatigue associated with MS. They tried me on this drug for over 2 months at different dosages and scheduling and it had zero effect on my level of fatigue. I finally just quit taking it. I found it to be useless.

I'm on Provigil and, as a supplement, Amantadine. When I take Amantadine, twice a daily, I'm good to go. I get up each morning at about 0700HRS and take this and others. At 1215HRS, I take the second of these, nap for 45mins and I'm good until I decide to go to bed, usually at +2000HRS. For my life-style, it works. I must remember to have the dosages overlap.

It's taken me a few tries to understand the need for the consistency. Other meds require food. After reading other contributions, I understand that food may be getting in the way FOR ME with this. I'll work it out. Managing MS ain't for sissies.

I been taking Amantadine since 2000. I found it takes about 2 hours to work, also the emptier my stomach the better. So no breakfast for me.

Started Jan 5, 2012 and now have purple blotches all over, red rash from knees to ankles, and extreme swollen ankles that hurt/burn feeling. I stopped May 5th per doctor, still having NO let up of the purple blotches, rash and swelling. I'm going back to provigil even though it's sooooo expensive, it did work for me before trying the amantadine which was way more affordable, but, I'm paying the price now! Hope these side effects will go away.
