My neurologist has recommended I start Namenda to help with some pretty profound memory problems I am dealing with. I have personality changes and an inability to handle any stress. Because of this I have lost my job. I am unfamiliar with this medication. Anyone have any experience with Namenda or recommendations about memory loss. This has been very upsetting to me and has destroyed my family life. I feel so lost.

I just asked my doc about Aricept and she recommended Namenda. I too am experiencing memory loss and other problems, and it's been pretty disheartening. I know this is like 3 years late lol.

Did you start on the Namenda? If so, how has it been working for you? I hope things are looking up by now for you

Hey! Thanks for commenting! Yes, I'm still on Namenda after all this time and it apparently is working. My memory issues stabilized along with my stress related emotional outbursts. lol A few years ago the doctor wanted to switch me to Aricept but I had a severe reaction to it and went back to the Namenda.

Great news!

Wow, your original post was quite awhile ago. Good to hear the Namenda is working for you and that there is a drug out there for the cognitive problems because I maybe looking into it very soon. I can't remember what happened a couple minutes ago half the time and I worry about my job as well. I carry the insurance for my entire family of 6. I hope things have gotten way better for you since that post.
