> we may not be after the same mechanism tho. but, given the mention of parnate i think i saw before... it would work well with it and it's metabolites i think, and having mao-b smushed might help allay some worry about the oxidative potential of DA.
> an odd thing is my experience is that lamotrigine helps fight side effect with memantine increases. i think this is because memantine redirects glutamate to other receptors (AMPA, kainate..).Wow. You really know your stuff. There is a secondary effect of memantine on AMPA and kainate receptors via NMDA receptors, but it is complex, and I don't understand it.
When I began memantine treatment at 20 mg, I immediately developed cognitive blunting. My doctor asked that I try Topamax instead at this juncture. If Topamax does not yield results, I might retry memantine, but starting at 5 mg.
Thanks for your input.
