C. as the dissolution medium, and wherein when said pharmaceutical composition is dosed in a single dose, fasted, human pharmacokinetic study in healthy subjects, the Tmax for amantadine is 8 to 20 hours.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said Tmax is 9 to 18 hours.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said Tmax is 11 to 18 hours.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said in vitro dissolution profile is characterized by release of the drug from said pharmaceutical composition that is not more than 10% in one hour.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said in vitro dissolution profile is characterized by release of the drug from said pharmaceutical composition that is 40% to 80% in 6 hours.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein said in vitro dissolution profile is characterized by release of the drug from said pharmaceutical composition that is 40% to 80% in 6 hours.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said in vitro dissolution profile is characterized by release of the drug from said pharmaceutical composition that is 25% to 55% in 6 hours.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein said in vitro dissolution profile is characterized by release of the drug from said pharmaceutical composition that is 25% to 55% in 6 hours.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises one, two, three or four unit dosage forms.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises one, two, or three capsules containing coated pellets.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises one, two, or three capsules.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein said pharmaceutical composition is selected from the group consisting of one unit dosage form comprising 340 mg of said drug and two unit dosage forms each comprising 170 mg of said drug.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein said drug is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of amantadine.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein said drug is amantadine hydrochloride.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein said drug is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of amantadine.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein said drug is amantadine hydrochloride.
