After 6 months I had to stop taking the Namenda, I started with uncontrolable rage. Suddenly I was angry all the time and the rage was unmanageable. No reason at all I would fly off the handle and out of control. After a few weeks the anger and rage are gone. I would rather forget than act like that. I noticed after they stopped the Cymbalta it felt like something in my brain woke up. The jerking has all but stopped and the memory has improved.

I am a 53 year old female and was diganosed with cronic EBV (2yrs. ago), which has led to many other medical conditions. Cronic Fatigue, Migrains, Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Problems walking and Balance. Now memory problems. I loose words, have problems with math, spelling,forget things and somtimes how to get where I am going. After many tests, Doctors say I have mild Dementia. They started me on Namenda. So far no problems. All is good. Thank You. LD

My 84 year old mother has been diagnosed with dementia. She was given zoloft in the past for depression which produced increased confusion,agitation and hallucinations so it was discontinued. Even though she has not been officially diagnosed with Alzheimers they started her on Namenda 4 months ago. Now she is having hallucinations again even though it doesn't list it as a side effect. She has glaucoma and hypertension. Should she continue taking this medication?
