Suspect a small amount of dopamine release? If that effect built up over the course I would be eternally grateful. For today however, it wore off after a couple of hours.

Good luck.

It sounds like a good plan.

I once added memantine (Namenda) to Parnate. It might possibly have helped, but Parnate was discontinued soon thereafter for lack of sufficient effect.

How do you respond to Lamictal?
