doghappy Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Has anyone else taken Namenda? If so, what was your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herpie Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Nope. But we're curious about yours. It's memantine, an antagonist of NMDA receptor. It may be pretty transparent/unnoticable, except that it may slow down degeneration of nerve cells and slow down progression of dementia. I've also seen a study showing that giving memantine to people with Alzheimer's dementia reduced aggression/agitation below initial level (not just "not worsened" but actually improved comparing to initial aggression/agitation level).
