MEMANTINE vs MEMANTINE AND DONEPEZIL

Story time, I moved across the country to be with my fiance. I went to the hospital for a really killer migraine, and everyone at the ER mentioned this neurologists name, one person mentioned it I didn't think much of it, but when nurse after nurse and then the doctor even mentioned his name I was l

So I have a history of migraines, obviously. Usually they'd be 1-3 times per month randomly. Or if I encounter a trigger of some sort. Imitrex usually takes care of them, though a few times I've had to go to ER/Urgent Care for the migraine cocktail. Within the last month or so though I've had a h

I was fired from my job last week for discriminatory reasons. I'm not sure if I should bother taking legal action. For fuck's sake, I am physically and mentally exhausted. This morning I woke up with visual aura and almost tripped while getting out of bed due to warped depth perception. (I was tryin

My neurologist recently suggested I see another headache specialist at a larger clinic to get a different perspective on my headaches, as they were refractive to almost everything he tried, and have been for a few years. My regimen with him is Botox, which had me down to about 8 headaches a month,

My mom is 70 and I’m 31 and an only child. Everyday I see my mom deteriorating and I want to just cry because of how scary it is and how lonely I feel. I don’t have anyone else to share this experience with of caretaking and it’s so isolating. My mom is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s but recently it’

I compiled Full list of migraine medication that I found. If you can add something to the list - i would be thanksfull !!! Please,never use any of them before consultation with doctor, even Nsaids/pain relievers that look harmless cause big headaches if you use Them more than 8-10 times a month **In

Guys I thought I was losing my mind. I’m 52 and I can’t follow a conversation, I have trouble remembering what I’m watching if a commercial comes on. It’s been terrifying. Thank God for Reddit. My migraines have been at least 3x a week for more than 20 years and NEVER did my neurologist tell me ALL

My mom, 90, early-going-into-moderate Alzheimers, used to ask me almost daily about a "cure," or when she's getting this or that new drug she's read about (she graduated off Aricept, had bad side effects on Memantine, and was denied Lequembi for being too risky). Today, she damn nearly cornered me:

Hello and welcome back to SAR! Protein production in the human body is a pretty remarkable achievement of evolution. Without our conscious input, little factories are able to take stored information and translate it to proteins which constitute every major structure in the body. Despite proteins do

I'm a recently graduated surgeon, currently in surgical training and preparing for super-specialty exams. For the past 2.5 years, my mother (age- 57 yrs) has been living with Alzheimer's. I know the disease inside and out from a medical perspective—the pathology, the prognosis, the progression. But

People ask a lot for help with things, which are often symptoms of having a severe neurological disability, and not minor headspace miscalibrations that can be fixed with a mindset or framing change. I want to help people more, and help *myself* more, but it seems not everyone responds to the same t

New grad, just settling in to my first job. I have noticed a few things about the providers at the practice I joined that is very different from what I learnt in residency so wanted to ask Redditers about their own experiences. Specifically, do you make the diagnosis of dementia and prescribe Donep

My 87 y.o. dad lives near Knoxville, TN. They have the Pat Summitt Clinic, which I understood to be a "big deal", I was hoping for experimental care options. The Dr. was personable, but quickly admitted that there were not many meds for dementia, and my dad was / is on donepezil and memantine, and s

My husband was diagnosed 4 years ago by a neurologist at a teaching hospital. The diagnosis was made through an MRI and cognitive testing. He was first prescribed donepezil/Aricept which he took for at least a year. Galantamine was added in place of the donepezil at 1.5 years. We were living in a bi

Howdy! I'm just wondering, how can this generic still be filled at pharmacies like Kroger's in good conscience given it's history with the FDA and them stating it isn't bio equivalent to Concerta? Is the extended release OROS wannabe the only version that is problematic, or are the quick acting norm
