My husband was recently diagnosed as possible early Alzeimaers. He presently takes 10 MG of Namenda twice a day. He has become very hyper especally at night. Because of this he doesn't sleep well and then sleeps all day. Is this dosage to much for him? He is 84 yrs old. Can I reduce the dosage to one MG of Namenda per day? Thank you..
