Well as I wrote in a previous post we had a lovely couple of days when my partner started on memantine. Sadly it hasn't lasted and he seems worse than ever now - threw the electric toothbrush down in a rage last night because he didn't know what it was or what to do with it - peed all over the floor of the en-suite this morning because he didn't sit properly on the toilet, wet his trousers this morning (hasn't done that for some weeks) . And he's still only on the 5mg tablets, they increase next week to 10.
I called the GP to discuss but have to wait till Tuesday for telephone appointment.
So what to do - carry on with memantine, discontinue memantine and return to donepezil, discontinue pills completely, take both memantine and donepezil?
Does anyone have experience, can give advice?
It's all very very depressing after having such high hopes.
