> Started at 20 mg (10 in the morning, ten at night) Eventually tapered up to 40 mg (20 twice a day). Is this your first time on it?

I tried memantine several years ago. I thought it might have helped a bit. I was taking Parnate at the time, but not prazosin or nortriptyline. I titrated the dosage using the manufacturer's starter-pack to a dosage of 20 mg. I tolerated this very well. Unfortunately, I began to feel worse at some point. I discontinued memantine, thinking that it was the culprit. Actually, the culprit was the generic lamotrigine (Lamictal) that I was switched to. Once I restarted the name-brand Lamictal, I regained the therapeutic effect, but elected not to retry memantine. I don't remember why.

Thanks for your support, Eric.
