Hi Petters,
Can you describe the headache. Was it a throbbing
headache or more like a pressure in the head
(like allergies)?I am extremely interested in test driving memantine
(which is a derivative of amantadine.
Memantine lists pressure in the
head as a potential side effect, which is actually
what I was hoping it would alleviate. Pressure can occur
in certain cases where there is an interesting fluid
buildup. I think memantine is less of a dopaminergic
med.Thanks for any information. I would really
appreciate it.-john
> I recently gave Amantadine a try. I wasn't too impressed. More than anything else, it gave me a wicked headache. Its metabolism was strange too. It would start off giving me a boost of energy, then fade into a sleepy lethargic mode, and then come on with a second wave of energy better than the first. It did seem to make sexual desire stronger. But oh that headache.
