Great content - never heard this connection.

Thanks Dr Josh! Yes, apparently it was kind of an accidental discovery back in the day since Amantadine was never originally developed for treating PD!

My brother is on 100mg twice a day. He's catatonic. Couldn't turn in bed or move. Very stiff and had surgery yesterday for a PEG feeding tube. Frozen up and can't move. He's less stiff now. He has medication induced PD.

Did you really? I prerecorded these in December. Great minds think alike
