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?

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.

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.

He came back in and said they wanted to do more testing. I feels like I bombed the testing compared to last time. I told my neuro today all of my symptoms/issues & she looked very concerned. 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???

Consider the use of a medication called memantine (Namenda) which you should ask your neurologist about for oscillopsia (if that is what is diagnosed).

Based on the information you gave, it appears that your dad is actually more in the earlier stages. Later stages have more a physical deterioration. With the stoke and lack of O2, I would find out if adding oxygen to his regimen may help. How about vitamin D? Is the atrophy in normal limits?

I am so sorry that you're having problems. This is the one problem that I hate the most. I've had some very embarrasing incidents at work because of it--it makes me look like have mental retardation or I've come to work drunk! I have found a little help with some medicines. Provigil has improved this (and fatigue). The problem is worse when I'm fatigued. The stress is an indirect cause of the problem. When I'm stressed, I don't sleep.

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.

I love to hear what you are saying! Ive been falling in love with my husband more and more with this baby in our lives. He has shown me how sweet, caring and supportive he can be. We've had our ups and downs and its nice to be brought a little closer together. I've been learning to let my problems and fears go and things work out okay if not better than what I was hoping for.

In the last month have have had problems falling down steps, falling when walking up steps and falling when just walking on flat surfaces. This is beginning to happen more and more frequently and has really begun to worry me. I am having neck pain and pain at the base of my head but not headaches. I have noticed that sometimes my thoughts are cloudy and I forget what I am in the middle of saying (thought this might just be "Brain Fog" associated with Fibromyalgia.).

you people are a god send.. And im looking forward to making more and more friends and being able to help people like me!

Well, I'm not sure what to tell you. I am very sorry that this is going on!! I'm sure it is worrisome to you and makes you nervous about the future. Are these new things? The porn and drinking? Or was he doing these things before you got pregnant? I ask because what so often happens is someone is just fine and we are happy with them until we get pregnant. Well, we convince ourselves of that and look the other way as they do things that we aren't thrilled about.
