Those are potentially serious side effects. Could his behavior be to other meds he may be taking too? I think that someone should make sure his dr knows what he is going through. It isn't normal for those symptoms to be ongoing. Here is a link to Namenda. It lists side effects, symptoms of drug interactions, etc. Hope it helps. God bless.
