As per my clinical experience, Namenda is not responsible for weight loss though he can feel dizziness, somnolence from the same.
I recommend to discuss the same with his treating physician and get necessary alteration in drug dosage, addition of certain multi vitamins in current drug basket.
Hope this information will help him.
