Brain fog - ask your doctor about amantadine

I’m new to this site. I was interested in your comment about the amantadine being helpful for brain fog. I had covid starting about October 20th. I ran a fever and was sick in bed for ten days before starting to improve. After having periods of feeling somewhat normal mixed with days of feeling sick, I’m now at the point of trying to do normal household activities. I start to sweat and then get fatigued and brain fog. Did you experience any of these symptoms? Do you think the amantadine would help?

Brain fog and fatigue- absolutely. I still have moments at the end of the week where I’ll park my car on the other side of the driveway then have a few seconds trying to find it.
The FDA monograph doesn’t state its use for brain fog.

It made a huge difference to me from 75% of my day being forgotten or memories not being recorded to being back to 90% of my usual self in 10 days it it- people spontaneously noticed.
I spoke with a researcher in Europe doing a clinical study on the drug who told me he’s seeing positive initial results.
But I’m no doctor. Give the links or print out the studies I posted above and ask your doctor if they may help understand your situation.
