Avatar f tn My wife was recently prescribed Memantine for headaches. She took 5mg nightly for 4 days and during that time she still had a headache, but no side effects. On the 5th day the headaches stopped, but now she's constantly nauseous and woozy. This has been going on for 4 days. Is this just a matter of her body adjusting to the drug?

Which one are you using? I would like to go back to 1993 and reassess your situation. I agree with you that AD has been a blanket diagnosis quite often, especially when the health professionals are not used to identify and treat AD.

338416 tn?1420045702 Well, as you all know, I've been taking 5mg of donepezil a day for my cognitive impairment. I'm on #4 today. Interestingly, I feel like I might have had a mini-flare at the beginning of the week (or maybe it was the allergies) - but despite that, my brain feels more 'on.' I'm remembering stuff better, and I'm able to stay on task better. I drove last night, and I felt safer - less distracted, more able to concentrate on driving.
Avatar n tn Here goes... I have been seeing several doctors (all cross referred) and all are perplexed (thier words). Meanwhile I am confused, frustrated and suffering. I am a married 53yo tall otherwise avg male. Until 18mo ago I was in good health, very active, and a college professor. I do not drink or do drugs. I am now unable to work or do most of the activities I once enjoyed. My mother died of cancer and my father died ostensibly from alcohol induced cerebral ataxia.

307874 tn?1242755798 It is just so confusing and depressing. I have been under alot of stress this year and just losing my dad and heard something last month that is very stressful.

I have a problem talking in a conversation with my family because they all of a sudden will look at me strange and I know I didnt say the right thing and cant remember what I was saying.
338416 tn?1420045702 Depending on the level of funcctional impairment she is experiencing at this time, you may want to consider a trial of donepezil. However, it is my understanding that the patient requested the present evaluation fin order to provide a baseline for future reference. She should be referred at appropriate intervals per your discretion for comparative testing and tracking.
Avatar f tn Compared with tacrine, donepezil, and rivastigmine, HupA has better penetration through the blood-brain barrier, higher oral bioavailability, and longer duration of AChE inhibitory action. HupA has been found to improve cognitive deficits in a broad range of animal models. HupA possesses the ability to protect cells against hydrogen peroxide, beta-amyloid protein (or peptide), glutamate, ischemia and staurosporine-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis.

Avatar m tn Hi, I haven't tried to appliance. I'm a 35 year old male that's had tourettes/ocd since around 8 or 9. My suggestion would be to try a glutamate antagonist...like memantine or riluzole. They seem to have less side effects than the typical med's used to treat ocd/tics. I've been on paxil since I was 15 and risperdal since I was about 20. They both just basically kept the edge off. The sexual side effect ***** though. No sex life at all.
