It is a sister drug to amantadine (Symmetrel), which is used for Parkinson's. Some people think that memantine will prevent them from developing tolerance when taking amphetamines. I'm hoping it will prevent poop-out.

What I have read on this chemical in reference to glaucoma therapy, it appears that it may not have too many deliterious side effects which would also so be a boon for pdocs. Take care . Micro
