namenda

Avatar n tn 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. The drug that I have found the most relief from is actually an Alzheimer's drug. It is called Namenda. There has been some research that has shown that it helps to prevent migraine.
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.

Avatar f tn 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.
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 m tn t know the name of the drug but I believe there are new drugs for dementia. My husbands friends mother is on something that is new and she is doing better... I would discuss this again with the doctor and even if nothing else, maybe a mild tranquliser for the daytime would help..The ativan is good for situational anxiety but maybe your mother needs something a little stronger to quiet the chatter in her mind.
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 n tn I understand completely what you are going through. My mother has been a prescription drug abuser for as long as I can remember. She needs thrives for attention constantly. My father completely enables her; because he's been henpecked their entire marriage; there has been times when he's faked an illness just so she can have it so that he doesn't have to deal with it. I have 7 brothers and sisters and we all left by the age of 18 because of this.
Avatar f tn My neighbors doctor prescribed fluoxetine and namenda before MRI being done.test came back no signs of alzheimers disease. Should she continue to take ? She is 80 years old somewhat forgetful nothing to make you say you can't function she is 80.

Avatar m tn Hello. I have CFIDS/ME triggered by Lyme borreliosis. It's caused retrovirus (think HIV), only not deadly of course. It only causes torture, low Natural Killer cell counts, and reduced immunity. I'm so happy a retrovirus was found for an otherwise unexplainable disease, but in the mean time, there is no treatment. Anyway, since being ill, the anxiety doesn't go away. The anxiety is not about anything. It never has been. Triggers are things that are fun, exciting, and stimulating.
Avatar f tn Day for disabling pain (severe spinal stenosis in multiple levels) i find imy pain is much lower , does this drug have long term damaging affects ?
Avatar f tn She did a mini neuro/cognitive eval and said this may be something more than MS. Now she has prescribed Namenda XR for me. I googled it and it says it's for Alzheimers. I do have family that have/had dementia/Alzheimers. Does anyone else with MS take this??? Or do you know anyone with MS that takes it? From what I read, it makes symptoms worse with people who have MS. Sad face...
Avatar m tn If you are symptom free with it is best to continue it. It is suggested to consult your attending doctor before altering your drug schedule ort any change in dosage. I sincerely hope it helps. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn They use the information on the studies done with valium. But just because they are in the same drug class does not mean they have the same effect. I was on xanax while nursing and it was fine even though it was on the unsafe list for nursing. I ran out and my family Dr gave me a script of few valium to hold me over and I thought it would be ok because they are in the same class as xanax but after nursing my baby she went in a deep sleep and her breathing slowed.

767538 tn?1276575320 I have heard that it can cause severe halluciniations withdrawing from the ketamine but there is supposed to be a drug that they now use to help that. My neuro told me that they also do it in England. Too extreme and expensive for me to attempt and I'm likely not a candidate because medications do help me....however, not nearly enough. This coma is supposed to be a last resort option...
