Is Namenda XR Effective In The Treatment Of Alzheimers Disease?

Will Namenda XR be helpful to my Alzheimers Disease? I have been involved in one of the programs for nearly a year but ran out of the Namenda XR many months ago and I am not doing any better. I really don t remember if the Namenda XR made a difference or not. Do you think that Namenda XR is helpful in the disease and that I should bring it up to my Physician? Thank you. William Thomas
