Amantadine works better than nuvigil or provigil for me, so I'm sorry it make you feel like death. It is suppose to give you energy! Maybe next visit you need to try provigil for fatigue. Alot of people have success with these pills. Also, adderall is also prescribed to a lot of folks here at DS.
I just thought I would possibly try as I read it might aide with MS and Diabetes and I have both.
For me doing pt gives me energy, also eating frequent small meals or snacks.
Whenever you get a new medication might be good to tell pharmacist to give you two or three days worth,,I do, to try, sometimes is cheaper paying for them , some copay are higher than the actual cost of meds.
Hope you find your energy, Alma
2. I have been on amandadine and also provigil. Provigil is much more expensive and just went on generic but still VERY expensive ($400/mo??). But I used to get amandadine. It works for fatigue also. It is usually very cheap. I thought that through Caremark it was cheaper than the $20 co-pay for 90 days. So check about that. It was cheap a few years ago. I stopped taking it because I am on Provigil and Amandadine lowered my blood pressure and my bp was already low to begin with so I stopped taking it. It didn't make me feel like death. My dosage was 100 mg. I am wondering why you have 1000? Is that a typo? Anyway, it made a little difference with the fatigue. Sorry that it made you feel bad because it was fine with me. Only side effect was to lower my bp a little. Look at the side effects. It helps hold off the flu and helps with fatigue. Surprised that it was expensive.
