Default Namenda update

A few weeks back I started Namenda, with the hopes it would help relieve some of my sensory problems. My pain doc in Denver, had has some success with his MS patients.

It made me so tired, I had to take two, 2-3 hour naps, a day. In addition to my 9-10 hours at night. I was a zombie.


After the first week, I halved the dose to try and ramp slower. It didn't help, but I felt the tingles, and heaviness, and the other annoying sx getting worse in my hands and feet. After 2 more weeks of increasing doses, it dawned on me that it might be the med.

I stopped it, and after 48 hours, I was nearly back to my "normal" annoying sx. It is such a disappointment. Now what? Tysabri? I'm going to do some research.
