It isn’t only incontinence that is a side effect of namenda, it also increases the anger that comes with dementia and makes “sundowners” worse...we won’t see Biden at night. My father-in-law was on it. It helps for a little while, but people on it can’t take stress of any kind and are prone to nasty outbursts that make no sense. And hallucinations. They get agitated and can’t concentrate for even a short time.

You just described Biden’s last 5 months.
Jebus I’d like to see him do that in a national debate.
