Does Namenda Titration Cause Vascular Dementia?

My wife, 80 years old, has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. While never an outgoing personality, she has become more inward looking and less interested in human interaction. She is using the Namenda Titration Pack with an ongoing script for 28mg. Is this a side effect of the Namenda or of dementia?
