Memantine had a pronounced antidepressant effect for me that lasted for about a week. Other than that, I found it neither activating nor tension-inducing. Nor did it make me feel sleepy or unmotivated.

> Neurontin: I know it’s soothing. I found it helpful in that regard. Anyone think it made them more depressed?

I asked a similar question a few weeks ago, and no one responded that it made them feel worse. However, I found that it destabilized my mood and worsened my depression.

Keep an eye on the folks using Keppra. There might be an antidepressant effect to be found there sccording to some descriptions.
