i think i recall reading that part of Bacopa's mechanism involved normalizing serotonergic activity, so maybe it's working at cross-purposes to your Geodon?

i, like you, experimented with the herb briefly - three days if i recall correctly; what i noticed was an increase in 'lucidity', i.e. my thoughts were much clearer, but no greater in depth. i also found it much harder to focus because i was so caught up in my own thinking.

what was the final memantine dose you ended up on psychobot? i think part of the problem is that people are dosing too high. when i tried a low dose (5mg), the stimulation was almost too much to handle, though i noticed a definite increase in mental stamina and ability to think freely. 10mg was a little depersonalizing, though perfect for focus. after that, it was all downhill. my expectations for treatment are a little more, um, modest these days, so i've spoken to my new psychiatrist about retrialling memantine, with the intentions of possibly remaining on 10mg this time.
