Two days later and it seems to be doing very little, so maybe the Memantine is causing akathisia (I'm not particularly anxious, but I am quite jittery and internally restless, and I also feel like I'm gently biting on my tongue a lot of the time).

> g_g_g_unit, I was doing a search on google for memantine and akathisia and I stumbled upon an old post of yours from this website about memantine + SSRI akathisia. It seems you are no stranger to akathisia. So you know what torture is then. So do I. Wish I could go back in time and never take anything they gave me.
