My Paradise in a Bubble: Day one

Day one

Day one of a new med: Namenda, Memantine

Starting off very low dose (having to split a capsule, not exactly easy)

Hoping for no adverse side effects, and then if necessary we can bump up dose in a week or two

Fingers crossed, and I hate thinking - a medicine could be helpful.. because so many times it just hasn't

or he reacts negatively to it, or has too many side effects to get any benefit from the medicine

But admittedly, this one is different, a different pathway in the brain, but with his positive experience with Ketamine in the hospital

and our anesthesiologists recommending we ask about it

well, gives us a little bit of hope

because all the "therapies" in the world don't mean jack if brain chemistry totally messed up

and that's where we are!

So, it's day one.....
