Amantadine-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Neurol 53:1862-1865, Shulman,L.M.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report a 48-year-old woman with a 17-year history of PD who developed a peripheral sensory-motor neuropathy secondary to chronic administration (8 years) of amantadine. Discontinuation of amantadine resulted in resolution of trophic skin ulcers, paresthesias, and distal weakness. Amantadine may be hazardous to patients with severe and chronic livedo reticularis.
