> Thanks for the information. It's a pity -- there's several people here who tried it at 20mg, but gave up due to a lack of results.I was one of those people. If I get "stuck", I might make memantine 40 mg the next thing for me to try. Interestingly, when I tried it last at 20 mg, I had also been taking Parnate as I am now. I remember having episodic mild improvements during this time, which is an unusual occurrence for me when drugs aren't working.
I am also considering using Topamax at a dosage of 100 mg if my response plateaus. I am able to avoid cognitive impairments with Topamax if I begin at 25 mg/day and raise the dosage by 25 mg each week. Returning to a few partially effective drug makes sense for me, as I wasn't taking prazosin at the time.
