I have had adductor SD for 9 years and nothing seems to help.

Recently, I developed a tremor in my left hand - which the neurologist diagnosed as the beginning of Parkinson's disease.
He prescribed Amantadine, and although the drug is not helping suppress the tremor, it is helping the voice.

Has anyone with SD had any experience with Amantadine?

No experience, but would like to know more about this pharmaceutical. Any side effects?

I have experienced no side effects - using 200mg/day. However, I understand that some patients experience edema, mottled skin, blurred vision and/or depression.
