That is what ketamine was supposed to help with the brain and reseting it so to speak.
I have tried many meds like neurontin and though I thought they were not helping they may have but it just seemed not enough. Sometimes it is hard to know. I have never heard Namenda I am going to look that up. Glad it is helping

Namenda has had a colorful past. It was used in Europe for nerve pain, but when it got to OUR FDA, it was only approved for Alzheimer's treatment.

We used to discuss it back when at our old home at BT.

I believe some posters on RSD forum here use it, or have used it.
So do a search there for the posts.

I get 37 posts with that keyword Namenda:
example:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...hlight=Namenda

I cannot post the search string, as it expires on the boards. You have to do that yourself, I'm afraid.

The generic name is memantine... searches are fewer for that version here. But if you decide to search Google or PubMed especially use memantine. You get better hits on PubMed using the generic names for drugs.

I have done research on it and its a mixed bag. Some get good response and some not. You can say that for any drug and since everyone symptoms and causes are different the only thing you can do is try it for yourself.

The only thing I have noticed with Namenda is that I've seen people go up to 55mg which the normal most docs give is 20mg.
