@lydiasantee My husband was on Memantine (Namenda) for nearly four years until we realized the paranoia and hallucinations he experienced started after he started the medication. He is now off of it and only wears the Rivastigmine patch for memory. I can’t see where either have helped. Everyone has different reactions to meds, good and bad.

My husband has been on Aricept since 2014 and his doctor added Namenda a couple of years later. He had nausea from the Aricept for about a week but it went away and has not returned. I have no idea what effect either of the drugs have had but his decline has been very slow. A recent blood test rules out Alzheimer's so maybe his decline would have been slow anyway. He is 78 now.
