I don't want to take words from his mouth, but from discussions with him, he was taking the memantine before taking Adderall for its other medicinal values (neuroprotection, etc). He had mentioned that in the past he couldn't tolerate Adderall because of poop-out. When it came to light that the memantine may help with amphetamine tolerance, he restarted the Adderall and found that Adderall (amphetamine salts) no longer "pooped-out". This was my understanding.
