Medication

So, I have never taken any medication for relapsing MS. After nearly 20 years after being diagnosed, I have been prescribed amantadine. Am not decided and after reading about the possible side effects I am a bit reluctant. Does anyone take it and do the benefits outweigh any possible side effects?

I have never been on that particular medication, but I have tried several MS management meds and they all had terrible side effects. I heard about Ocrevus from a friend with MS and I asked my doctor about it. When I finally got on Ocrevus , it is an infusion 1x every 6 months. I have had no negative side effects from this med. Advocate for yourself and look into it. Good luck!
