i just wanted to keep every one posted on my memantine trial.
I am still only taking 5ml and my brain is still feeling so much better!
and I decided to try 25 mg of seroquel at night and it is helping with my insomnia with no real side effects like other sleep aids ive tried.
except one night when we had coctails on Petes b-day. Ive always had trouble with alcohol keeping me awake.
I feel happy that my doses are etremely low and I'm gettin such good results!
I awlays new that I couldn't handle high doses of things.
I hope everyone else is doing well.

Thanks for the update Laura - I am so glad that you are having such good results. We are in the process of changing my husbands meds a bit but once we get it squared away I want him to try memantine. So exciting that people are having success with this med. When I mentioned it to our "COE" they just said "that's an AZ drug"... so crazy that they aren't open to it!

Thanks again and keep posting!
