Memantine for cognitive decline and memory problems after IFN tx

hi,
i recently discovered that memantine decreases the severity of memory impairment and improves cognitive abilities that have been diminished post completion of interferon-a treatment considering HCV disease.
i take about 25mg per day, for 7 days now it has improved my memory like nothing else before. problematic are the emotional perceptive issues i still experience. what also did ameliorate was the heatwaves originating in my spine...

despite of that, it's a damn good bet (memantine). It's cheap,  has manageable side effects and improves every aspect of your abilities to comprehend, calculate, abstract and evaluate things of daily living, in social situations it's like grease in a dusty ball-bearing

but i have to warn you: the different state of mind you experience with memantine treatment and the new  ways of thinking it creates can make you stumble a little the first time. think of a healing plant or healing open wound. i would be happy to hear other perceptions and experiences with memantine post interferon treatment (or post HCV treatment   disease). Only by talking about ouselves we can find aspects that we have in common and maybe that inherites solutions to our current states.
