It’s prescribed to me the drug memantine for OCD , but I don’t wan’t take it, because I worry about something. I’m on low-calorie diet and I worry whether if I take the medicine, will stop losing weight. Gaining is among the common AEs.

Look at this from NCBI site: ”The treatment significantly attenuated body-weight loss and prolonged the life span of SCA1 KI mice.”

I taking also topiramate, metformine and sibutramine.

P.S.

Some research show that memantine can reduce antipsychotic-induced weight gain-exactly my case- Im gained after taking Olanzapine, but before I was thin.

Another studies recommended memantine for binge eating.

I’M CONFUSED ABOUT SO MANY DIFFERENT INFORMATION!

WELL- to take it , or not to take it- that is the question!
