I am concerned because, although the package insert did not list it, I found . My neuro indicated that the nuedexta would increase the effectiveness of the namenda. I also found a caution for Adderall, which I am also taking. I believe the website listed Adderall as having potentially serious drug interactions.
I am confused. I am putting a hold on taking it until I can track down more information.
I am still interested in feedback from others who are taking nuedexta.

Teri -
Your neurologist was quite correct, Neudexta would increase the effectiveness of Namenda. In fact,
the potentiation of Namenda by Nuedexta is one of Nuedexta's best properties, if personal experience counts for anything.

ps Sorry I can't help you on the Adderall, which I would have loved to have been on years ago, but my then treating physicians passed on it because of my glaucoma. Instead they gave me Prozac, which landed me overnight in a monitored cardiac bed with SVT. Whereupon the UCLA Adult ADHD Clinic discharged me as "too hard." (Not that they
ever checked my BP or pulse during any of my office visits.) So instead I joined the gym and signed up with a personal trainer in an effort to be more efficient at work. And here I am today, as a direct result of that last ill-fated call.
