Re: Memantine as a reversible MAO Inhibitor?

i live outside the US. a box of thirty 10mg tablets (as Ebixa) cost me about $130US i think.

i've often thought a stimulant + memantine combination would be the best treatment for my symptoms. unfortunately, my (ex-)psychiatrist nearly had an aneurysm when i asked for methylphenidate (stims are heavily controlled here).

if you don't mind my asking - did you start Wellbutrin close to the Memantine? i have heard that there's a "honeymoon" period experienced on Wellbutrin with a great mood boost, etc. but that after that it just devolves into a generic stimulant without much potential for anhedonia. on a different forum one guy was questioning whether Memantine could be used to prevent tolerance to that "honeymoon" period in the same way it's used to prevent tolerance to other stims.

i was thinking it might be worth a shot. i have a Wellbutrin XR (brand-name) prescription i never used because i'm almost 100% the drug would cause anxiety in me in isolation. do you believe Memantine might also be helping control the anxiety from the stims you're on?
