Avatar f tn Additional studies of the Alzheimer’s medications Exelon® (rivastigmine) and Namenda® (memantine HCl) also did not demonstrate a clear benefit. Some side effects may include stomachor bowel problems, mood changes, and urinary difficulty......" Note: Very interesting section on cognitive issues is found about half way down, well worth reading for tips and tricks, medications etc.
Avatar m tn Besides Clonazepan, Solof, Lorazepan, Divalproex, Citalopran, Donepezil,Divalproex, Enalapril, Carb/Levo tab she started taking Ziprasidone four weeks ago.Please tell me if she should stop taking some of those medications.
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 She is not alcoholically person and never drink in her live. She has heart disease and take atorvastatin for 10 years and also donepezil and ladiomil for 4 years. Since her doctor discover problem with GOT and GPT she stopped taking atorvastatin (3mounts before) because they were suspicious that atorvastatin was reason for this problem but again GOP and GPT increase. Next step was cancer marker (CA19-9 = 34.4, AST = 5.47, CEA=3.22) and virus markers (HBsAg Es = 0.13 negative, Anti-HCV = 0.
Avatar f tn also can be used to enhance the storage of sensory information (Google it and you will see what it is and what you can do at home with it as well). The method involves asking a patient to identify a designated object from an array of items at increasingly longer intervals. Second, I have never ceased to be amazed at how the brain can find "work arounds" and bypass damaged parts of the brain with time. Sometimes after surgery, clots can form in injured areas.
Avatar m tn She is taking hydralazine 50mg for high BP, Sertraline 25mg for depression, Nitrofur Mac 50mg for UTI, Donepezil 10mg for memory loss, and Novolin for high blood sugar. We also have a PT that comes to her house but that is not really helping.
620048 tn?1358018235 Yes! I can relate Meg. Kinda like "Out of site out of Mind" because we have so many other sx, and issues, trying to rmember to take meds, and then wonder if you did in fact take them. I think, for me anyhow, this comes from lack of cognition and a Brain Overload of what little bit I do have. Hope that makes sense. The funny thing to me is when you do remember to write the stuff down...the list is soooo big that you stop and think to yourself ....
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 He said I did not have Alzheimer’s. It helped the memory and cognition difficulties most and my wife said in general I was better than but not fine. I still take it but its efficacy is waning. To make a long story short, additional issues developed over the interim from then. One of my problems is I don’t know what is related to whatever is wrong with me and what is coincidental.
Avatar n tn I was wondering where the best place for me would be to find a complete list of medicines I should stay away from with Long QT syndrome. I have a list but it is over 5 years old, and I am in need of a new one! Thank You!
455605 tn?1206051065 So, your doctors are actually not wrong when they say they will try a second drug if the first one does not work. Memantine and Donepezil are the two most commonly used drugs. 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 In sum, the predominate features of her neuropsychological profile are moderately impaired selective and divided attention, cognitive flexibility, storage of visual information, visual discrimination, visual attention to details, verbal fluency, and concept formation, and mild impairment in processing speed and memory processes for auditory information. There is evidence for mild decline in intellect into the average range from a premorbidly high average level.
Avatar m tn I know, I know, I know...........I'm the optomistic extravert, people would say "if i'm not talking in person then i'll be on the phone talking" i've always been able to count on my ability to communicate, i'm highly verbal lol. I first noticed something wasnt right when my son started school (2001), I started forgetting peoples names, these were not new people's names, this was quite minor, on and off and i'd always find an excuse to justify it to myself.
Avatar m tn Yes it's true - I'm really reaching some kind of edge again. even considered checking out this retreat but the cost was pro-hib-itive. Plus I don't really 100% believe their total philosophy, and I've already dealt with so much of what they talk about. I really do think my problems are bigger than just needing to find a life lesson, and "doing happy" etc. Lastly, I've given in - I'm sick of sleeping my life away so I've started taking....pseudoephidrine...
Avatar m tn I have been on a statin drug for about 15 years and ran for exercise until about 5 years ago and all I can conclude from my history is I have benefited from the statin drug via low cholesterol and not blockages and weight control and general high physical quality of life from the exercise. I'm 11 years younger than you, and I no longer run, but that is because of atrial fibrillation, not because of muscle damage due to anything other than age.
Avatar m tn I did touch her vagina (fingered) and afterwords put on the condom for protected sex. She did also stroke me penis a little and touched the tip and I think she touched her vagina before she did this. I developed burning with urination and red urethra within a day or two. I do recall that my urethra may have been a bit irritaded before i was with her but definarely not due to sexual activity.
Avatar f tn Thank you to everyone to is taking the time out to write me. YES, I deleted my contacts ph. # I am broke for right now anyway and my supplier is dry anyway (fate?) So, I know I have no way to get any even if I wanted to. I don't want to. I just want to feel better. My energy is not good and a little shaky. This ****** *****! I've been to NA (and will be going back, plus years of alanon), I know all the lingo etc. I just want a damn life. Or my damn life BEFORE opiates.
Avatar f tn Help...any advice? My newborn baby is an angel all day long sleeping/eating/being content and happy, and will take naps in his bassinet no problem. But at night he'll wake up to feed or be changed and will cry nonstop after when we try to out him back in his bassinet.
