namenda

Avatar n tn 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.
20003388 tn?1515166040 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.
Avatar f tn The best thing to do if you need to go off a medication is ask your psychiatrist for a specific titration schedule. I have done so following their directions but when I did it on my own (before my current recovery) or without their specific directions, things were very unsafe. Also ask yourself why you want to go off the medication. If its a matter of side effects you can ask your psychiatrist for other approved alternative mood stabilizers and anti-depressents.
1030383 tn?1338460785 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.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I am currently recovering from back surgery and am taking 2 Percocet 10mg every 8 hours per the directions. I ran out today and tomorrow is a holiday so I won't be able to get a script until Tuesday. I am not good at keeping track b/c the scripts are only for 15 days while most are for a month, but anyway. I have some 5mg vicodin - can I take those to get me through until I can fill the script for the Percocet? If so, how much should I take?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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?

514649 tn?1231454520 Have you heard of this type of thing with motion feeling like the earth under me and my body are going in different directions! Its ever so slight but ever so distracting and has caused me to avoid highways etc cause I'm afraid it will pop up. Some days I feel I am going nuts and am a dependent mess.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar n tn 00 noon approximately 23 hrs after I took the 1g of z-pak ?
585414 tn?1288941302 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.

458072 tn?1291415186 my concern is that they are wanting me to take a pred pak afterward to help keep the swelling down. I told the dr about the elevated cortisol levels and my concern with taking prednisone, but he said it would be no problem. Now, this is a ENT doc so I am doubting he even knows about elevated cortisol. Do any of you have any info you could pass along or websites that I could check into this? I have googled high cortisol+prednisone and came up with nothing, really. Thanks!
18227105 tn?1463522012 t require you to take Ribavirin at least not usually. Qurevo (aka Viekira Pak in the US) will require you to take ribavirin. Also Viekira Pak is multiple pills a day while harvoni is just one. At least as best as I can tell Qurevo is Viekira Pak made my Abbvie Pharmaceuticals while Harvoni is manufactured by Gilead Pharmaceuticals. But I would go with what your doctor recommends and you can get.
408795 tn?1324935675 I'm wondering if anyone went through tx with Viekira Pak and if you did, what were your side effects. I know I could simply google side effects for Viekira Pak but I want to know what members here felt. Were you able to continue working while on Viekira Pak? Sorry if my question sounds a bit off kilter but I've been out of the HepC loop for a while now. much appreciation!
Avatar m tn So I'm an idiot. Got drunk the night after being prescribed Z-Pak (1 gram at once) because the clinic prefers to overtreat and said it looked like I "might" have something. The condom broke. Wondering A) if the Z-pak would prevent me from getting any new infection from this partner, even though I took it 36 hours before and B) what are the chances I infected the partner with anything? When we turned on the lights, it turned out she was bleeding so that freaked me out too.
Avatar m tn Hello all, I am on last week of Viekira Pak treatment, after 4 weeks UNDETECTED, through all treatment didn’t had any side effects and every day looks like that I have more energy. The question I have, after treatment I need to go to the dentist but I am bit afraid because he will use painkillers and it could react with Viekira pak drugs which it will be still in my blood.
Avatar f tn i still believe it is from the z pak,does anyone know if permanent damage can be from a z pak?
Avatar f tn yes people are curing with this combo however Ribavirin is not always needed with viekira pak it depends on genotype of hep c and if you have cirrhosis
1673169 tn?1316541930 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.
