Sorry to be so naive, but my neuro was very vague in his explanation.

Thank you so much for your responses.
I wish I could give you an answer, but I couldn't take either of these meds. The Neurotten as I called it, caused me to walk around a corner and fall flat on my face, and a lot of memory loss, for example, I could walk in a room and stand there starring into space, like what on earth am I in here for?

I hated them both.

Good Luck

Debbie
