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 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 m tn Hey everyone, I have tried many different ocd drug therapies, but have yet to try a glutamate modulating therapy such as Memantine (Namenda), Riluzole (Rilutek), N-acetyl cysteine, or amantadine. If anyone has information on or experience with any of the above medications, would you please share that with me? I am desperate. Thanks so much.

Avatar n tn Good article on magnesium but not clear about efficacy of magnesium oil. The seller really hypes it's effectiveness, but I'd like an unbiased opinion.
Avatar n tn Hi, Docetaxel (Taxotere) and carboplatin is an approved and effective treatment for ovarian cancer. Docetaxel and paclitaxel have nearly similar efficacy in this setting. Docetaxel is known to cause less neuropathy than paclitaxel. All the best, and God Bless!
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 Hey Kelly, nice to see you, though the reason su_cks! I've not heard of anyone or remember lol seeing it mentioned here, so i did a quick search and drugs .com states...... "In a trial testing the use of memantine (the active ingredient contained in Namenda XR) in MS patients with cognitive impairment, nine out of nineteen patients reported a worsening of their neurologic symptoms that deteriorated their quality of life.

Avatar m tn If it is about its efficacy (how long it takes to act in you system and yield results) I would be happy to answer. Please clarify your question and re-post if needed.
Avatar f tn Some (but not all) antibiotics do lower the efficacy of birth control. If the doctor told you to use a back-up method, you should have listened. Pre-ejaculate can contain some sperm--specifically if he has ejaculated beforehand and not done anything to clear the urethra. If your antibiotics lowered the efficacy of your birth control pill, you very well could ovulate while on your pill.
Avatar f tn It varies from person to person and there is a specific dosage range psychiatrists generally use for efficacy but that question is based asked to a psychiatrist. They do a blood test for Depakoate and if it is within a certain blood level then it is generally determined effective and of course the person's response is taken into account as well.
Avatar m tn who is right? Dr. Handsfield, or the Merck representative quoting data from a formal study? This isn't meant to sound rude. I'm just honestly trying to understand why Dr. Handsfield (who is an STD expert) disagrees with the study, and why. It is my understanding that upon antigenic exposure, the body initiates antibody production, so I imagine there is no reason why this wouldn't occur following a single dose of Gardasil. One would imagine there would at least be partial protection.
Avatar m tn if one were to start taking effexor, would it lose its efficacy in time? how does it work? i ask because i've heard of people going from like 37.5 mg a day to 600.....this doesn't sound good. what's the deal there? any takers?
