Namenda update

Well, it's been about a month....
Bad news for me. I can't take it - had some really bad side effects (not listed in the brochure).
I've been totally listless and depressed, dizzy and my ears have been ringing really bad (there's a name for that that I can't think of right now). Memory hasn't improved but gotten really bad. Blood pressure dropped real low and I've felt like the devil.
I kept taking it cause I'm in a high cycle and thought it was just that, but a few days ago I was talking to a client and I told her that the doc had given me a script for it. She said she had taken it and started describing what it did to her -- my symptoms to a tee.... CLUE!!!!
Anyhow I d/c it and it's been two days now -- my ears have quit ringing and I can get out of bed without feeling quite so listless. Still am not up to my usual "zippy" self, but am getting around better (without having to really "push" myself).
Guess I'm out of the ginny pig study on this one, but I can't handle being a zombie all the time. Hope it works for others, but I just can't handle it.
Hugs BD

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you, Barb, but I'm very glad to hear that you're getting your energy back.
What, if any, effect did Namenda have on your CH?
All the best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

George, I couldn't tell any difference. I was so drug out that nothing was making any sense to me much....

Barbara,
Sorry the namenda didn't work... Some days chicken, some days feathers... Stick with the O2... No side effects other than the confidence of knowing you can kick the crap out of the beast.
Take care,
V/R, Batch

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, not any before nor after, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. Man has one virginity to lose in fighters, and if it is a lovely airplane he loses it to, there is where his heart will forever be.
