I have been taking Amantadine for several years now and I haven't had a cold or flu since I started it. It works great! As for energy it helps me a little but not that much. I usually have a 5 hour energy drink to get me to start moving, It also helps with brain fog. You can get the 5 hour energy without caffeine.

You take both Amantadine and Nuvigal? I'll have to check with my neuro to see if he can do that for me. I only take Amantadine and I can tell when I've missed a does but I still feel fatigued.

The nuvigil worked for a few months and then back to tired. But when I paired the two together- that works, for now any way!

I started Amantadine about 5 years ago and I haven't had a cold or flu since. As far as helping with energy it does work most days but sometimes I need something more so I take energy drinks or caffeine pills, just one caffeine pill on the days I need it.

I have never taken acid, but that's how I'd describe amantadine. It felt like there were three of me and I had to keep us all together. Never again!
