Now is day 4 on 5 mg of memantine in the evening.

I take it 30 minutes after i dose 2 mg of clonazepam so i don't panic about having a pill in me that is not familiar, and that strategy works fine.

I have not feel any, and i mean any, side effects from memantine yet and that should, in my opinion, mean that i tolerate this drug very well.

I feel like i have a clear mind and it's easier to hold a conversation with people, and i feel like it's easier to stand my ground, as it is a big problem for me who has DPD.

I very much like my regimen i have now and have decided to not change anything for 3 month at least, so i can evaluate the effects of this regimen.

15mg of methadone in the morning, 2mg clonazepam and 5mg memantine in the evening. And soon 0mg of zopiclone (yay).

I feel that my social anxiety (that has had been very bad, very very bad) is nearly totally gone, i sleep for 7 to 9 hours a night and have no problems with food anymore.

I haven't had any "exploding head"-syndromes in nearly 3 weeks because of clonazepam, and that is something i have had every day since i was 8 years old.

Google it if you want to know what it is, icd10 has it anyway.

So yeah, not much to say. I can work 50% instead of 30, and that's big. it's, for me, 8-10 hours more a week.
And i don't feel like i'm in a mania or drugged up on the pills either (My psychologist said she doesn't think that either, and she's extremely hard on that since she's a therapist at the addiction center with much experience and have seen me drugged up for many years, so i believe her when she says that i'm not affected in that way now.)


In 2 days i will try to raise the memantine to 10mg and see if i can tolerate that, i hope so because i really feel good on this drug.

I'll keep you updated.

Kind regards /J
