Can you take this medicine to help give you energy? ## Hello, Luvbug! How are you? Yes, Amantadine is sometimes used off-label to treat chronic fatigue, usually for those with MS and to treat some cases of ADHD. Side effects may include nausea, nervousness, anxiety and insomnia.

My Neurologist gave me Amantadine for Fibfromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, he said this would give me energy, but I am sleeping 16 hours a day. Is this normal? Can I take an over the counter energy pill to help me give me the energy I need? How long can I expect to wait for the side effects subside and the energy I need to function in life? ## I am not aware of it being used for such, nor is it an approved use listed by the FDA. They actually list its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, and drowsiness. Looking over the other listed side effects, such as mental depression, fainting, memory loss, stupor, anxiety... well, I really can't see how he expects it to give you energy. Everyone is different, so there is always the possibility it may cause the opposite ...

My Dr. proscripted the above for shoulder pain, can yoou tell me what in it and any side effacts they may have ## Hello, Willmay! How are you? Since this is topical, it doesn't usually cause a lot of side effects, because you absorb very little of the medications, but you may experience some skin irritation at the application site.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what the Aman stands for, is anyone else familiar with? ## Amantadine is the "aman" medication you're looking for. Though mostly a Parkinson's medication is has also been found to help with ...
