>> What effect does NMDA have
** I see you found the confusing part,too. What is also confusing is that glutamine is the most exitatory neurotransmitter, but it is also the precursor for the most common inhibitory transmitter, GABA. They both affect the nerve activity, but in opposing ways...:?
>> I drank excessively last week, to blackout (or at least spotty memory) Will this ever recover?
** Of course it will. You probably need some heavy rehydration. Get away for a day. Go fishing. Get some fresh air.
>> And 80 m.g. of Celexa? Any studies showing whether a high dose hinders concentration or inhibits memory formation?
** I don't know about Celexa, but I noticed some short term memory loss on Wellbutrin. Strangely, I also had slight halos on lights with night vision.
>> What role might the Lamictal have in this? I took double doses the last two days. Would this hinder concentration to this degree?
** Again, double doses aren't necessary. It doesn't take immediate effect. It takes days for the levels to taper up (or down.) I don't think the Lamictal affects my concentration much. It is probably just a lack of exercise, too much drinking, and normal stress in my life.
** Oh, I forgot about this site. Good info on Lamictal. Better than the official Lamictal site:
