namenda titration pack

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.

I have neuropathic pain down my arms, and in my hands and feet. Recently my Doctor gave me a titration pack of Savella to try. Savella is a medication used for the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. I noticed a reduction in the pain, burning and stinging sensation in my feet and hands even at the initial dose after the first few days. I also, bizarrely enough, noticed an improvement in my ability to urinate and empty my bladder.

I'm just curious if anyone has been on Namenda and could tell me how long the initial brain fog lasted for you? I just started Namenda yesterday, 5 mg a day for 1 week then 10 mg a day in divided doses. I have memory issues and severe cognitive impairment. I was put on Namenda by a neurologist after a thorough examination. I expect the brain fog from starting Namenda up but am just trying to get a time frame for when I could expect the initial brain fog to wear off. Thanks everyone.

Does anyone out there know of a good doctor for FM? I am so tired of the trying this and trying that. I am currently on Savella with the 2 week titration pack. I haven't noticed any difference as of yet, it's only been 3 days.

Hi there:) I just spent three weeks trying very hard to get my body acclimated to Savella because I didn't think that Lyrica was helping. I'd start a titration pack.....get to the 50 mg. oval tablets, and break them in half and sometimes into quarters. I'm convinced that the effect Savella has on norepinephrine was why I couldn't take it.I would get so incredibly anxious and nervous......I don't think that my body needs any boost to my norepinephrine.

My doctor switched me to lyrica/savella,and I am on day 11 of the titration pack. without any bad effects. My energy has increased, and I hope that continues,and my pain has been helped alot.

I am on day 11 of the titration pack, with no adverse reactions, my energy has increased, and it definately has helped with my pain. I hope my my energy keeps increasing, since it is a real issue for me.

As for treating tardive, standard options include Bachofen, Aricept, Requip and Mirapex. More experimental options include Namenda, Tetrabenzene and Zofran. Vimpat has been helpful in me and will be written up in a case study but that's a clinical first literally. One natural remedy that if supervised by a neurologist can be markedly helpful is rhodiola. Botox shots for focal dystonia are helpful if it is limited to one area.

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.

All of my bloodwork came back good, so he started treating me for Fibro with Savella. On day 4 of the titration pack (first day of taking a 25mg pill in the morning) I developed Serotonin Syndrome and was admitted to the ER - I was not taking any other meds so there wasn't any interaction to have caused it. This left me with the assumption that either my serotonin levels are naturally pretty high, or that my reuptake is already more than adequate.

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.

I read your post to me about how you don't like block/replace therapy, and that you like MMI titration, what is that? HOw do you keep your patients from going hypo thyroid on only ATD's? and if they do go hypo, how do you help them if you don't use replacement? Also, does using ATD's burn out your thyroid? and does replacement burn out your thyroid? Do you consider 5mg of MMI to be a high dose of ATD?

Can anyone tell me what is a Oxygen Titration test is about I will be having this tes on 4/9/08. It kinda scare me a little bit. What will they be doing for me doing this Titration.

I was prescribed Savella and decided not to take it for those reasons. It says that those are the side effects (excitability, night sweats, flushing, hot flashes, tachycardia) and since I have POTS which causes tachycardia, I decided against it. But I have heard that the symptoms lesson over time. Did you start with a titration pack? If the side effects don't bother you too much and it's helping you, if I were you, I would try it for a little longer and see if it goes away.

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.

INTERESTING, I DID NOT READ THIS INFO FROM THE FDA ABOUT THE DOSING. THOUGHT AS "T" SAYS THAT IT'S STANDARD TO WORK TOWARD THE 44's. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THOUGH, AS WEIGHT DOES AFFECT MEDS, AND IF REBIF IS ONE OF THEM, YOU'D THINK IT WOULD BE MORE KNOWN. LEAVING ME TO THINK IT'S NOT AN ISSUE. I WAS PRESCRIBED THE 44's (TITRATION PACK 1ST) AND AM THIN ALSO. . ..HMMM SEEMS THIS IS JUST SOMETHING TO FIND OUT MORE INFO ABOUT.

Two weeks ago, I switched from Lexapro to Savella. My doctor gave me a starter pack, which contained a 2-week titration pack, which gradually increases your dosage, allowing the body to acclimate to the new medicine. However, before starting Savella, he told me to do the following: Cut the dosage down to 1/2 of what I would normally take a day for the first week. On the second week, take Lexapro every other day. On the third week, I was to start the Savella dosage.

Yes I am somewhat familiar with that. For example Namenda which is used to treat dementia is in clinical study as a mood stabilizer and to treat tardive dyskinesia. However as those medications specifically effect those receptors by mitigating their activity they work in an opposite manner to glycine and the NMDA receptor modulates.

I started Rebif in January on the titration pack, everything was good, minimal side effects. Ive been up to 44s for a while now and I have just started getting some site reactions. Not every time, my belly and thighs seem to be more reactive. Until about 5 minutes ago I thought they were limited to red, tender spots and bruising but now I have found an area on my thigh that appears to have a large (3 inch?) knot deep under the skin. It doesnt hurt, Its not red, but it is pretty solid.

From what my psychiatrist told me when I was transfering from Tegretol (and other mood stabilizers that are anti-convulsants) to another medication that if the titration schedule is followed seizures are generally not a concern but you could speak to your psychiatrist more about this.

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.

I've taken Rebif since Sept 2009 -- I'm one of the lucky ones with no side efx to speak of. I always take 2 Advil & 1 Benadryl 30-45 minutes before injecting, and an addition Advil about an hour after. Don't know for sure whether that's why I don't get the flu symptoms, but so far, so good. Talk to your neuro about your symptoms -- it might well be unrelated to Rebif.

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?
