I started Namenda in early December for Mild Cognitive Impairment, but had a wonderful side effect.  The daily migraines I have had since April started getting less intense and I even got a few days of relief.  I am now going up to 7 days without even a hint of a headache, and it seems that I have come out of the FOG regarding my memory, migraines & depression!  I am able to accept my headaches and live with them, as opposed to fighting them.  I am not nearly as debilitated as I had been, and am actually back to working.  Although, it is a career change.  I am starting to enjoy life as a whole once again.  I had explained to my doc that I had never really had a love for life, just a respect.  I now have a love for life.  My excitement is never-ending. 

 

I understand that Namenda is not for everyone, but it seems to be something that I personally have needed for a long time.  It works on chemicals that my body is not able to convert properly. 

 

I can only pray that this continues to be an effective treatment.
