Summary
Amantadine, tried in 2003 at an unspecified dose for her ME/CFS. Her illness duration and severity beforehand are not stated in her comment. She reports it "never helped and did nothing for me," describing no improvement in fatigue or other symptoms. She adds that it made her "very dizzy," an adverse effect rather than any benefit. She does not mention a later relapse, since no benefit occurred, nor any maintenance use, as the account implies she stopped taking it.
