Main course or side dish

The particular feeling of nastiness I'm having right now feels familiar. Feels familiar in a third week of Namenda sort of a way.

I haven't read up on the side effects of this anti-Alzheimer drugs, but I'm nervous it's what's responsible for this 24/7 migraine with not so much pain. Sure, you might think that the pain going would be a good thing. And it is! It's just that the nausea, sensitivity to light, sound, motion, cognitive impairedness--they're still all here. The things that migraines took off the table are still off the table. And I can't even go to the ER to get them back for a little.

I expressed this concern to my migraine specialist as best I could (I have to go through a middle person to talk to him), and he's told me not to stop taking the Namenda, but instead to do week 2 again of the tapering starter pack. I'm on week 3 now, 15mg of the stuff, and really just not happy. I could sleep forever with the slightest provocation.

Hopefully that makes the difference--I'm not sure how he intends to get me past 10mg, and I'm not sure this is better than this time last week.
