my husband just started on Namenda, starter doses, however, while I was at work today, he took 3 of the pills(5mg), should I be concerned? do I just have him continue tomorrow with the correct one pill in the morning? doesn''t seem to have any side effects.
My neighbors doctor prescribed fluoxetine and namenda before MRI being done.test came back no signs of alzheimers disease. Should she continue to take ? She is 80 years old somewhat forgetful nothing to make you say you can't function she is 80.
He is on Namenda and Plavix, is it possible that Adderall could help with his short term memory loss. Before the accident he lived on his own.
What could be causing me to have all of them. I am under pretty good control as I take neurontin and namenda. Before I was put on namenda i was having rhizotomies almost every three months due to the excruciating pain.
If any aspect of her condition was dementia Namenda could be used. If it were psychotic, which it sounds like it, generally an antipsychotic would help but there the concern as regarding age. Zofran is helpful on psychosis from Parkinson's and has been of some use for schizophrenia and although both usages are experimental the medication is approved (I take it for what is being studied as the criteria tardive psychosis) and could potentially be of help.
I, like many of you, take handfuls of drugs just to live thru the day and suffer side effects from the drugs is just as debilitating as the pain. My doctor allowed me to try Namenda, which is a alzheimer drug that works by calming overactive neurons in the brain. There has been studies to see if it helped chronic pain and most of them showed it did not. I wanted to try it for myself and she allowed me too. My shrink also thought it was a good idea to try.

Hi Margypops,
Axona is a brand-new prescription therapy launched in March 2009 for the treatment of mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease. As Alzheimer's is marked by a decrease in glucose in the brain (the primary source of food for the brain), Axona acts by providing/metabolizing glucose in the body to act as an alternate source of food for the brain.
still unable to get medical insurance. my daughter is experiencing hallucinations. is this symptom a norm with chiari? I never know when to get emergency help. thank you for your help. my best wishes for all of you.
health anxiety but stress and my nana just passed away on Friday from liver cancer but before she did she kept seeing things little bugs crawling on her and the doctors said it was hallucinations because she was dying.
I am learning so much about bipolar and I have found that I have, in fact, been having mild hallucinations my whole life. I have not talked a lot to anyone about it in my family or any of my friends. I'm afraid they will think I'm super crazy and reject me or not let me around their kids because they think I'm dangerous. I just want some insight about how to approach the subject. I really want my loved ones to understand what I'm going through.
I thought I answered this post already?? I am BP I, rapid cyling, mixed state. I only have hallucinations when I am manic, as most bp's do. I have speakers appear on the wall and play rock and roll music, kind of cool. Other than that, I see little stuff whizz by in my prefreal vision. I did overdo it playing too much World of Warcraft last year and thought I was living in the game for awhile.
HI,I SMOKED SOME WEED WITH FRIENDS,I AM NOT A SMOKER NORMALLY AND I SMOKED BECAUSE IT WAS MY BDAY AND THEY WHERE SMOKING IT AND DRINKING AT THE SAME TIME,WHEN I WAS IN BED I HAD TERRIBLE HALLUCINATIONS I WAS SEEING PICTURES AND HEARING VOICES AND SOUNDS, I KEPT GETTING UP AND MY HEAD WAS REALLY SPINING,I COULDN'T FALL ASLEEP.SO I SAID TO MY FRIENDS AM NEVER SMOKING THAT THING AGAIN.
I used to have audio hallucinations a long time ago before I was stabilized but all of a sudden I am starting to hear voices. I am not schizophrenic or psychotic (yet). I have Bipolar Disorder and have been going thru a lot of stress lately. My theraist siad it was just a symptom at this point and it is probably caused by stress. She told me to keep an eye on it and if it gets worse to tell my mental health care provider... I have an appointment with her on Sept 7th.
He has slight swelling on the brain and was given oxygen at the hospital for several days.......are these hallucinations normal in his case?
I wake up sometimes with a headache and suffer hallucinations for a few hours after, I have trouble remembering what I was hallucinating about , this doesn't happen very often but is very disturbing. Can you help please.
my grandfather wantws to put her on namenda,we tried it for a few weeks, but I saw3 her only become more hostile!! do you think a person at her age is really going to benefit from namenda at this stage?
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??? Or do you know anyone with MS that takes it? From what I read, it makes symptoms worse with people who have MS. Sad face...
