Namenda
Okay, so I had to go off the Memantine XR because my insurance wouldn't cover it. I had been feeling pretty good while taking this....
I searched this in the forums and a couple of people said they took it and it was supposed to help with nerve pain, but it helped them more with depression.
I know I wrote on here that it helped me with memory, I think perhaps it is hard to think when in constant pain.... I know it helped me a lot with my pain because earlier in the spring I was able to do more things around my house than I can now...especially yardwork, I love to garden, but my body just doesn't let me do this anymore. I seriously would be so happy if I could just pick dandelions all day.
Anyway, I am going to try the non XR generic, Namenda now. The doctor is prescribing 10 mg a day for me at this point. I was up to 28 mg of the XR per day. I can get 180 of the 10 mg (strongest dose) Namenda for $79 at Walmart with a coupon from goodrx.com. I will let you guys know how it goes....
