7002065 tn?1443073614 the different state of mind you experience with memantine treatment and the new ways of thinking it creates can make you stumble a little the first time. think of a healing plant or healing open wound. i would be happy to hear other perceptions and experiences with memantine post interferon treatment (or post HCV treatment disease). Only by talking about ouselves we can find aspects that we have in common and maybe that inherites solutions to our current states.
Avatar m tn I need the bupropion for the anxiety associated with Nystagmus, but I know it causes blurred vision and convergence problems. Should I even bother to try memantine? Thanks.
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?
Avatar m tn There is someone on this forum, or the depression forum, who was in a clinical trial with a medication targeting glutamate receptors for bipolar disease and claims to have been cured by it. 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.
Avatar m tn this thread actually brought me to the idea of trying out NMDA (Glutamate) Antagonist Memantine and it really improves my ability to perform tasks by at least 50%! Why not only stay away from Gluten but decrease the overall glutamate amount binding to CNS sites? it works!
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.

514649 tn?1231454520 feeling endured off and on and I really felt it driving or going down the isles of grocery stores etc....very bizzare and I thought I was going crazy. It would come over me like a wave. I used every self help method thinking anxiety attacks....but they were not something that came on suddenly....I would feel weird all day. Needless to say it has made me apprehensive to drive long distances or at high speeds. I was diag with MS in 2003. Optic nerve is okay...
901222 tn?1399142874 I struggle with a severe form of spinal arthritis. My doctors encourage me to medicate. I don't like to. I tend to slip in and out of dependency according to pain levels and depression about it. I stay far away from oxy and morphine because they are very difficult for people to quit. Vicodin makes me sluggish and sad. I lose connections and sulk in my bed. I just stopped all about a week ago. Feeling a bit better. Still depressed with another RF medical procedure looming. I'm worried.
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 ....
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!

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. Could stress make it worse? My husband says that we can be talking about soemthing and I will say something that makes no sense at all. 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.
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.
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.
