Hi Larry- What were the Namenda side effects? My husband has used the rivastigmine transdermal patch for several years and it's very good for him, I think. APRN at geriatric practice suggested adding Namenda, which we've done and I wonder if it's doing anything more than adding pills to the pill box. Since they won't "make him better" it's impossible to know if it's worth it. He sees a geriatrician twice yearly (MD, then APRN in the practice 6 months later), same with neurologist. He is almost 92, was diagnosed with MCI in 2019.
