EJ,

This is a very helpful summary. A few questions:

1) you say,


Personally, I prefer the German drug Memantine, which is the metabolized form of Amantadine. I think they now sell it in the U.S. as a drug for Alzheimer's, under the name of Namenda for $60 for 60 tablets.


So your preferred therapy would be Relenza + Namenda, or Relenza + Tamiflu? You're correct about the US branded name of memantine, BTW.

2) You seem quite knowledgeable about these issues. Do you suggest a particular set of texts if I wanted to educate myself similarly?

the side effects of tamiflu are not to be dismissmed imo: two colleagues took it last year and foreswore it. I have used amantidine in the past many times and aside fromm some depression and nightmares, not had a problem personally or with patients: doesnt mean it can not happen.
