Anyway my Dr. reviewed my list and chose Namenda. I had read where it is used for Parkinson's patients but has also been used for Fibro.
I started on 20 mg. a day.
Now I went on the internet and googled namenda and it only says it is for Alsheimers. My Dr. even said it was used for Parkinsons and may help me.
Anyone used this or heard of it? Probably Mrs. D will know.
I don't have high hopes - but I never have side effects from high dosages so it's worth a try.
Thanks,

My neurologist prescribed Namenda 5 mg at bedtime for pain. I have severe pain that comes and goes in my right groin area and low back. My primary care physician asked why I am on Namenda. Was it for my memory and I told him no for pain. The nurse practitioner asked the same question and I replied the same. He then said it is for memory. I told him again my neurologist prescribed it for PAIN. I have a very brilliant and highly educated neurologist. His major was not just neurology....neurosurgeon and neuro-psychology.
