Guest guest Posted February 5, 2000 Report Share Posted February 5, 2000 What kind of results have you had with Amantadine? I took my second one this morning and I had a reaction to it. It made me itchy, tingly and flushed all over but more so on my back. Governments are instituted among Men, getting their JUST powers from the People,--That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive, it is Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Someone asked a while back why we don't use this and I spoke with Dr. G about it today. The reason we don't use it is because it's *dangerous*. Dangerous enough that it can kill your child so we work within the parameters of what we have that is *safe*. Ganciclovir may be a better drug for fighting HHV6 but it is not safe enough. The side effects can be lethal. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
