I just finished my 3 months prescription of Memantine ER 21mg Capsules, a medication prescribed to my mother to treat her moderate Alzheimer's disease. Initially, I was skeptical about how effective it would be, given that Alzheimer's is a progressive disease with no known cure, and I was worried about severe side effects. However, after three months, I have noticed some improvements in her cognitive abilities and everyday life, which have been encouraging. There were some side effects that we had to deal with; some were manageable, while others required medical intervention. I'd love to hear from others who have experience with this medication or have insights to share. I'm particularly interested in hearing about long-term effects and any tips people might have for managing side effects.
