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 n tn My 79 year old father sustained a TBI when he was knocked out for about 20 minutes. 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 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 n tn Because your grandmother suffers from chronic kidney infections she should not be taking Namenda, no matter how old she is. When you said that you tried her on if for a week, did her doctor prescribe this for her? . Medications for Demential and Altzheimers are also not suitable for people who suffer from cardiovascular diseases, e.g. had a heart attach for example. People with Dementia and Altzheimers do get aggressive and this part of the illness.
Avatar n tn 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. Before I was put on namenda i was having rhizotomies almost every three months due to the excruciating pain.
Avatar f tn I took a clearblue digital test on the beginning of my second week of possible conception and it was negative. Tomorrow will be the beginning of my fourth week. When can I take a test again and it be a reliable answer. I ahve been told that decent levels of the HCG hormone dont show up until about 3 weeks. I am so tired of waiting, I need to know if I am so I can breathe. I also need to know if i am not so I dont have to worry about what medicines to take and what not to lift and etc.
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...

Although the study was small, with just 18 patients, it was conducted under the highest standards for a drug study: it was randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blinded. In bipolar disorder, sometimes called manic-depressive illness, patients cycle between periods of elation and severe depression, and the depressive phase carries a high risk of suicide.

Avatar n tn Hi Margypops, Axona is a brand-new prescription therapy launched in March 2009 for the treatment of mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease. As Alzheimer's is marked by a decrease in glucose in the brain (the primary source of food for the brain), Axona acts by providing/metabolizing glucose in the body to act as an alternate source of food for the brain.
Avatar m tn s had problems with holding her urine. At times it will just come out. She was put on a med. from the Vet. Does anyone know of a generic brand or natural one that will do the same. I can't keep going back paying office visits everytime she needs a new med.
Avatar f tn If you are thinking of writing a suicide note, you need to do something! Let me also say....you should NOT be trying to get pregnant right now, for MANY reasons. For one, your mental health. Pregnancy often exacerbates anxiety and depressive symptoms, bigtime. Right now, your disorders are NOT being managed. That would be a VERY bad idea. Also, your financial situation could be improved. Adding a baby into the mix when you've got stressors that big can be a recipe for disaster.
1134609 tn?1269272200 It has been an interesting process, but I think I have finally figured out the medication issues. Here's the lay of the land: 1. I have always been sensitive to medications; they either work for me or the SEs are unbearable. 2. I have never had any luck when I have been placed on the generic brands of medications. Celexa especially; I was on it for 10 years, tried the generic several times and paid for it. 3. I have also been on Neurontin for the past 10 years.
767538 tn?1276575320 and used more often, if the cost of it will go down and/or be covered by insurance. You would think that if it does work and doesn't cause any long term effects that the insurance companies would want to cover something like this so they wouldn't have to be constantly "paying" for medications and other treatments. It actually could end up cheaper for the insurance companies, but you also know how they are -- they want to KEEP getting our money!!
1325193 tn?1450127436 I also changed from regular to generic because of insurance, when this started. Of course, mr hypochondriac, me, wonders if it is the generic causing this issues. Look, I know there are others suffering way worse. I just my misery to end. This is horrible.
574118 tn?1305135284 I would say that 95% of the time generic will work the same for people as brand, but that other 5% of the time someone will have a bad reaction due to: a) other compounds in the generic that are not active ingredients are not good for them b) placebo effect c) poor production quality in some way So, I think just like everything it is a case by case basis.
Avatar f tn IF I take the FRER today (AF due on Sunday) and it is negative, does that mean I am automatically NOT pregnant or does it mean that FOR ME it is still too early to tell? Now I know if I take it on Sunday or Monday it would be accurate because Sunday is when I am due. I am so desperate this month more than ever because I don't know if I will continue to "Try" after this. I feel broken...

Avatar n tn First of all his doctor changed and titrated his blood pressure medications and also they found Namenda to be quite helpful.
333672 tn?1273792789 Here is an interesting article that explains why generic interferons or Tysabri won't be cheap. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fda-to-approve-new-generics Basically, they're biologic drugs and their production can't be reduced to a chemical formula and a mechanical set of steps. Because "biological drugs are manufactured in living cells, there can be tremendous variation in the drug molecules produced.
