Hi Frank,
Symmetrel or Amantadine is one of the PD drugs I have been on for 6 years.
You should try to get in touch with your neuro and tell him or her what is
happening.  Symmetrel is one drug you should not stop taking cold turkey.  I
started on Mirapex when my tremor became more noticeable.  Here is the url of
a very good site for PD drugs information.



Best to you
