A new drug?

[Twinkie]

Hi all -- I have a google alert out on this drug and this bit of news just arrived. Sounds like if won't be in the US for a couple of years, but def. food for thought. Looks like a bit of a paradigm shift if you ask me ...
Sad that it's always about $, though.

memantine ( also known as Namenda)

Hi, I was looking for a part time job and ended up answering an add for a clinical trial for this drug. It has been approved for alzeimers patients and I guess I fit the bill for a heavy drinking guinnea pig. I have to take the drug for a week then they put me in the hospital for the night and hook me up to all kinds of monitors and bring drinks every hour. I hope they give me the real thing instead of the placibo. I tried topamax and didnt have much luck. Has anyone heard of this? I'm a little nervous !!!Thanks,Molly
