Jereon, there really are very few reliable tests for infectious organsims, whether they be viral, bacterial, or fungal. Just one of hundreds of examples, there are thousands of people who tested negative for Lyme disease until after they had been on antibiotics for a while which weakened and killed some of the Lyme enough that now the immune system and the lab tests could see them. Now the tests are positive. Happens a lot.
Many things we can't test for. We can test for a few parasites, but not all of them. We can test for a few viruses, but not all of them. Built into the tests that we can do is a fairly significant error rate. As long as a human being is part of the equation, there will always be error. There is not one flawless person on the planet. Humans make mistakes every day every where, even in labs, even drawing blood, even looking in microscopes.
My preferred diagnostic test is to try a substance, either herb or medicine, that attacks a wide range of whatever we have a hunch about, and see what happens. It is much easier, much cheaper, and makes no mistakes.
My message simply is that a positive response to Amantadine, given your history and symptoms, is a HUGE, I mean H U G E clue!
> the thing is i took amantadine 100 mg before seroquel and after a week i felt better from the amantadine 100 mg!!!!

> it had an anti depressant effect on me simular but not strong enough like seroquel
