How Can Memory Loss Be Treated?
I have worked up to a full dose of Memantine, 10 MG am and 10 MG pm in hopes of getting off of gabapentin because the gabapentine affects my memory so much. My Dr. hopes the memantine will help prevent migraines and allow my memory to return. My memory is significantly worse now, it is difficult to focus, and I feel groggy and sleepy all the time. I would like to go off of it now. Can you please give me your recommendation?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Memantine medicine helps in reducing any further memory loss.
What is already lost will be gained back by learning about it and listening to your friends and family.
Consult your practitioner before stopping any medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohit Kothari
