namenda

20003388 tn?1515166040 I'm just curious if anyone has been on Namenda and could tell me how long the initial brain fog lasted for you? I just started Namenda yesterday, 5 mg a day for 1 week then 10 mg a day in divided doses. I have memory issues and severe cognitive impairment. I was put on Namenda by a neurologist after a thorough examination. I expect the brain fog from starting Namenda up but am just trying to get a time frame for when I could expect the initial brain fog to wear off. Thanks everyone.
Avatar n tn my husband just started on Namenda, starter doses, however, while I was at work today, he took 3 of the pills(5mg), should I be concerned? do I just have him continue tomorrow with the correct one pill in the morning? doesn''t seem to have any side effects.
Avatar f tn Although the tests came back showing no signs of Altzheimers it does not mean that the 80 year old lady does not have dementia. I would discuss this with the doctor. Fluoxetine is another name for Prosac and this is an antidepressant. The doctor must have come to the conclusion that the lady does have depression for this to have been prescribed. I would keep a watch on your neighbour and report any side effects to the doctor.
Avatar f tn The material was squirted out the bottom of my bottom back molar into the nerve canal. Formaldehyde does on the living, just exactly what it does on the dead....mummifies. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough that it completely destroyed the nerve and left me numb, it left me numb and in horrific chronic pain. I, like many of you, take handfuls of drugs just to live thru the day and suffer side effects from the drugs is just as debilitating as the pain.
Avatar n tn you really just need to express your concerns to his health care taker and see what they say, if you want to see if they will take him off that med and see how he does if he gets better than you know it was the meds. plz keep in touch and let us know hows hes doing .
Avatar n tn What could be causing me to have all of them. I am under pretty good control as I take neurontin and namenda. Before I was put on namenda i was having rhizotomies almost every three months due to the excruciating pain.
585414 tn?1288941302 Yes I am somewhat familiar with that. For example Namenda which is used to treat dementia is in clinical study as a mood stabilizer and to treat tardive dyskinesia. However as those medications specifically effect those receptors by mitigating their activity they work in an opposite manner to glycine and the NMDA receptor modulates.
Avatar n tn When I read how your mom was on Zoloft and Namenda - this is exactly what my dad is on so I thought I would ask you how your mom is/was doing. Did she stay on Risperdone? Thank you so much for your response.
767538 tn?1276575320 I haven't heard of any "real" people having this done, but it was the topic of an episode of the tv program House (this may only be a US show, so not sure if everyone is familiar with it). Greg House (the physician and patient) underwent the ketamine coma/treatment for chronic severe pain for which he was addicted to vicodin. In the episode, as soon as he awoke from the coma, he was totally pain free and was able to immediately discard the cane that he had been using.
Avatar n tn He is on Namenda and Plavix, is it possible that Adderall could help with his short term memory loss. Before the accident he lived on his own.

Avatar m tn I am now in my forties and I just try to make the best of them because life has to go on. Ecspecially with children, anyway, how does phenobarbitol work to stop the pain of a migraine??? At the moment I am only on Topamax and take tramadol for fibromyagia, so I use that for the migraines as well. Triptains give me sever heart palapitations and cause my stomach and colon to bleed so they are not an option??? Any feedback???

5506662 tn?1369334325 I have 5 days till my due date and baby doesnt seem to want to come any time soon. The doctor said is I went to 41 weeks they would probably induce me. How exactly does that work? I thought it was just some kind of medicine they gave you through an IV but a friend said something about them sticking a needle up there. Im a little freaked out, could someone please explain it to me?
Avatar f tn I haven't posted in a while and am wondering if anyone can help me with this because I can't find this answer anywhere... How does Oraquick work? I know it checks for antibodies and I know there are antigens on the test. My question is how do they create the antigens?Do they create a whole virus and then pull the antigen out of it? Where on the test are these antigens located? Are they on the T line? I have many fears regarding hiv but one of them is this test!
