Since then that neurologist and another we now work with have stopped prescribing Namenda for their FTD patients. I have heard of other neurologists doing the same. I think your decision makes sense. The only med Jim is on for his FTD is Zoloft to help with anxiety which seems to help - he used to wake at 4 am anxious he had to do something but unsure what. He also gets less anxious during the day.<br /><br />Take Care<br />Rachelleshelleynshaggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11855061126472680713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-33663848982978338322012-10-01T12:34:51.808-04:002012-10-01T12:34:51.808-04:00That's great.

I was told it should also help with his agitation/out bursts. The doctor slowly increased the ml of Namenda prescription. Also, the doctor has introduced two other drugs slowly. Meaning we go and see him once a month. The University senior neurologist disagrees with my husband taking these medications now properly diagnosed with FTD bv and for how long he has had this disease. I am happy with my husbands behavior... esp. temperment. I understand in the future these medications will not help due to the disease but for now they are. I thank you for keeping everyone updated on you. I am amazed by your writings and how much you do. As always move forward and don't look back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539769365000202093.post-82821853522205080972012-10-01T09:26:13.351-04:002012-10-01T09:26:13.351-04:00I find ADD meds work well...
