How can memory loss be treated?
human
I have worked up to a full dose of Memantine, 10 MG am and 10 MG pm in hopes of getting off of gabapentin because the gabapentine affects my memory so much. My Dr. hopes the memantine will help prevent migraines and allow my memory to return. My memory is significantly worse now, it is difficult to focus, and I feel groggy and sleepy all the time. I would like to go off of it now. Can you please give me your recommendation?
