Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 My son has been on Lexapro for a little over 8 weeks. At his recent visit to the psychiatrist, he mentioned he had been feeling drowsy during the day every day. His doctor decided to decrease his dosage of Lexapro a little to help with the drowsiness. However, he hasn't had any improvement in his OCD symptoms since he has been on the Lexapro. So, his doctor wanted to add another medication that he said would hopefully increase the effects of the Lexapro on his OCD symptoms. The medication is Namenda, which actually is used for Alzheimers. He said recent studies have shown it's effectiveness with OCD when combined with an SSRI. I tried to find information on-line about Namenda. Everything I find only mentions it's use with Alzheimers. What do you know about Namenda and what is your opinion on it's use to treat OCD symptoms? Thank you Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
