Hi Scott. When you started Memantine, was it for augmentation of something you were already taking? If so, what was the other medication? I remember that you had a very difficult time when you started it, but things got a bit better, right?
At some point, a few years ago, before Memantine was marketed in the U.S., the company that makes Memantine posted some information on their website about the POSSIBILITY of Memantine being used to prevent amphetamine tolerance. I believe that the information was based on preclinical studies? I don't know whether any further studies have been done on this. Do you know whether Memantine might reduce and/or reverse tolerance that has already developed?

Thanks.
