Hi Emme.

I tried Aricept last year. You know how treatment resistant I am, so it really doesn't mean too much that I am not a responder to any one drug. However, Aricept did make my depression noticeably worse. Sorry I couldn't offer anything positive.

What did you decide about memantine? I recently added Zonegran. This is what I will be taking:

imipramine 300mg
Lamictal 300mg
Abilify 10mg
memantine 20mg
Zonegran 200mg

This is my second time around with Zonegran. The first time, my doctor asked me to discontinue it when I reported severe itching. However, this seems to be a phenomenon limited to provocation by heat and sweating (hot showers), so we decided that it may not have been a systemic allergic reaction. It is already producing the itching, but I'm going to see if it doesn't disappear over time.

It's always something...
