It turned out that I really have antibodies for a specific Borna Virus Desease protein (p24). No viral RNA found in my blood, no acute infection. So I started amantadinesulfate 4 days ago. I am really surprised! My restlessness went away, I feel some kind of inner peace and satisfaction which hasnt been this way for years. It almost feels like it reactivates some areas of my brain, which have not been used for quite a while. Concentration is much better, interest in things like watching news. I just feel *normal* now!
Im sure that my other meds I take also contribute a great part (like Nortripyline), but Amantadine seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle.
If its really the antivural activity or just the NMDA blockade and increased dopaminergic transmission, I dont know. I dont care!
Whatever, its sure worth a shot for you out there.Roland
