No need to worry. I used to teach classes on different Alzheimer's Medical treatments/medicines and know these meds better than the reps that sold them.

I have bilateral trigeminal and occipital neuraligia. I have been told this is uncommon to have both of these conditions and have each of them on both sides. What could be causing me to have all of them. I am under pretty good control as I take neurontin and namenda.

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. My doctor allowed me to try Namenda, which is a alzheimer drug that works by calming overactive neurons in the brain. There has been studies to see if it helped chronic pain and most of them showed it did not. I wanted to try it for myself and she allowed me too. My shrink also thought it was a good idea to try.
Hi! Have you tried any of the anti-epileptics? Usually the first one that is tried is Topamax. That helped me for awhile. The only side effects that I had from it were some numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. They say that is pretty normal. I also tried Lamictal, Keppra, and Depakote.

My father is 84 years old and has been having blackouts and passing out in the past year. He has been taken to the hospital for injuries from these spells. He becomes very combative and is disorienented after a spell and does recognize anyone. The doctors dismiss it because they can't find anything. After a good nights sleep he is back to himself and has no memory of the day before. They say it isn't his heart, there is no evidence of a stroke or dementia. Do you have any ideas?
We had the same issue with 2 of our female Dobi's (Reagan & Taylor).
Reagan, poor thing, got the worst of it. Apparently, some breeds are more susceptible to it than others. What happens is, when they get fixed, they're basically losing the ability to make estrogen, which is needed for muscle development.
About 5 years ago he began to exhibit behavior changes which have gotten worse since then. He is delusional, on disability and is taking Zyprexa, Amantadine, Namenda, Cymbalta and excelon patch. Still, he seems to worsen. He now has symptoms of Parkinsons with balance issues. He is 55 years old - much to young to be this dibilitated. He was tremendously active, a college graduate who owned his own business.
You can find her posts in the archives, and she should be a good source for you. However, glutamate is considered largely for depression because it is stimulating to the brain, not calming. On the other hand, if you reduce glutamate and, presumably, one of its precursors, glutamine, you run the risk of muscle wasting. It is also involved with GABA production.
If you are on a generic, I think it is important to take the same manufacturers generic each refill. I take generic and it is as good for me. If you have a particular med that is problematic, your doctor may be able to write 'do not substitute'. Problem is insurance companies can push back but with appeals and a letter from the doctor, that is often enough to get it covered. I personally have not had any issues with generics.
