Will Amantadine Fight EBV In The Nervous System.

Dear Dr. Sumit,

My name is N,mn,mla (32 years old).

I would be grateful if you could give me an advice.
I have a chronic Epstein Barr condition: it causes me hypersomnia, tremors and other symptoms (I'm sorry for my English... I'm Italian).
I was wondering if amantadine could fight EBV in the nervous system.
Thanks.
