YES!! And my hairline is receding; my scalp is itchy too. My neurologist said to use a shampoo with selenium but it didn't help. Another side effect of long term amantadine (according to my neurologist) is a change in skin appearance - it is kind of like lace. Started on my feel, then up my lower legs, and now on my face.and arms. I plan to ask my neurologist about it at my next appointment.
