Experiences with

Namenda

I plucked up courage to go to see a gp with my suspected lipedema I've always had a bigger bottom half but together with being hypothyroid I've gained so much weight in yhe last 4 years I've gained 6 stone..and my legs look awful..lumpy no knees..uneven and the top of my arms to...well I sat there and

Hi all I'm currently taking Rinvoq (upadacitinib) it's working really well for me at times but I seem to be Pilling the weight on and is really starting to get me down 😥has anyone else had the same problem with weight gain whilst taking Rinvoq ? Met up with a friend today and she had lost

My neurologist has told me that she has a patient that was prescribed memantine to treat migraine and it is helping her, but she has never prescribed it for this. She wanted me to try aimovig first, which I did and it did nothing. So I was thinking of trying it. I’m finding some dizziness as a side effect

I was wondering if anyone had success with Memantine for treating some of their OCD symtoms (as off label usage). I don't take well to SSRIs and after taking the GeneSight Psychotropic test, it was pretty evident that my struggle with previous SRRIs wasn't just in my head, since I pretty much have significant

One time I told my doctor that namenda reduces Adderall tolerance and he looked at me like I had 3 heads. Turns out, there are promising clinical studies demonstrating the efficacy of namenda/memantine in ADHD. Psych doctors make me want to bash my head against the wall from frustration.

Can anyone tell me of their experience with Namenda/Memantine? My mom just went down three points on her cognitive test, so they want to add Namenda to her Rytary and Excelon patch. Are there many side effects?

(Brand name Namenda in the US). I am planning to try it again for my migraines/auras and started researching again (at 4 am due to my fun insomnia). Apparently there is a correlation between migraines and Alzheimer’s which got me googling studies again.

This is Alzheimer’s med also called memantine in US. I am limited on med options. Being used here for migraines.

I also take ZOLOFT, MIRAPEX, AMANTADINE, NAMENDA (a precautionary measure) and MIDODRINE (for low blood pressure). I’m reluctant to share dosage amts as everyone’s needs are so different. •I’m not a candidate for DBS since it’s primarily used for severe tremors, which I don’t have.

My Mother started Namenda a month ago, then added an Exelon patch one week ago with the hope that these would help her gait freezing. The problem is actually getting much worse! Has anyone experienced such a paradoxical effect?

The meds they gave me is not namenda it's called memantine and I have to take it for a total of 24 weeks which is long after the radiation stops. Does anyone know anything about it?

Even though patients don't know whether we will get total treatment or memory preserving treatment ( it's called hippocampus something I can't ever remember) any way they are offering namenda a drug that delays memory problems caused by radiation (not prevent just delay) but if I receive the preserving

Has anyone been prescribed Namenda (Memantine); and, if so, please tell me what to expect as far as side effects. thank you.

His neurologist has him on namenda. He has no other ideas about what to do . It really breaks the families heart to see such a steep decline in a once smart and active person.

Has anyone used this medicine for PD. My mom who is 76 just started this today to help with her shuffling and balance. The docter said it is the last one she will be able to try. No other ones have worked.

because doctor said they were no longer working. His appetite is way down probably because he has a hard time eating and he gets frustrated and agitated all the time. Dr. said this med might help with issues. Wondering about any side affects and if anyone has had any luck with this medication.

He did say it has more side affects than the Namenda; didn't say what they were; also fine with me. Never experienced side affects from the Namenda. Wish me luck; boy, I need to get my head on straight; I have enough challenges and don't have time for these mental side trips.

I've been taking 100 mg. of Namenda to help with short-term memory problems but now added dozepil (sp?). Has more side affects but said it was time to hit the memory issues with 2 guns instead of just one.

Only meds he is on are Namenda for dementia, Celexa for depression and Sinemet for Parkinson's. Any suggestions??
