I've been on a memory med, Namenda, for 1 month. Has anyone experienced side-affects from this med, specifically chest pain?

I would be very careful and get checked over if you have ANY side effects of other meds. My dear mum has PSP and a Dementia consultant wanted to trial mum on rivastigmine to help mum's memory (which actualy was better than mine!). It knocked out the effect of her Madopar which was actually having a helpful effect on her mobility up until then albeit on a massive dosage. Mum never got back to where she was before the trial. It turned out the Dementia consultant had misinterpreted some of mum's answers as being incorrect due to dementia without any regard during testing to the fact that all the paper questions were not accessible for mum due to her appalling eyesight and fixed gaze.

Not what you're looking for?
