User Reviews for Memantine

Namenda (memantine): We started my Dad on Namenda and by day 2 he was more confused, lost and irritable than usual so my Mom stopped it. The Dr asked her to start again and the same day he experienced the same side effects so she stopped. Last week she decided to try it one more time to make sure. Dad was VERY confused and not easy to take care of. I guess he is just one of those people that can't take this medication. Too bad. It helps so many people.

Namenda (memantine): Mom has taken since 2007. Wish it was a time release medication. Too hard to get Alzheimer's patients to take medicines even once a day. It does help but may cause dehydration.

Namenda (memantine): My mother has been treated with the Exelon (patch) for two years now. Last month she was changed to Namenda. She has become irritable, aggressive/depressed and more confused than before. We are asking the doctor to switch back to Exelon.

Namenda (memantine): My wife started with two a day in conjunction with Exelon patch ..was dizzy so went to one a day. After 8 months her short memory is worse so we want to go to the two a day routine.

memantine: My father is 80 years old, uses memantine for two years now and experiences constipation and minor hallucinations as side effects.

Namenda (memantine): Patient exhibits no improvement after 12 months of supervised treatment.

Namenda (memantine): My Mother has taken Namenda since it was approved. I think it may help slow the neurological decline of a patient.

Namenda (memantine): After 2 years of taking Namenda at age 93 she is no worse. It may have helped by slowing down or stopping this terrible condition.
