Caution:
Memantine use should be carefully monitored by your doctor if you have a history of seizures or have recently had a heart attack, kidney disease or untreated hypertension. Memantine may interact with some other drugs such as Dextromethorphane, Cimetidine, procainamide, hydrochlorothiazide, anticholinergics, anticonvulsives, barbituates or dopaminergic antagonists like L-dopa or bromocriptine. Make sure the doctor knows what else the person with dementia is taking


Your doctor must have mentioned to avoid dextromethorphan.

This seems like an interesting drug.
I'm happy with my current cocktail though because it works.

Brain fog and short term memory are the two issues I find most disruptive in my daily life.

I am one of thoe who took 4oz doses of ROBO,with great effect of mood but was not intellectually functional on it.Bummer,cause it sure made me feel calm energy that nothing else has.

This finding is actually scary for me. I'm content with my Aspie and Ocd life.

Does it take away your creativity?
My problem with some meds is that it took away my desire to paint.
Something to help with the 'foggy' feeling would be great though.
The last blood test I did, showed that my levels for my meds weren't hitting theraputic levels. I'm on Epival right now and my moods have been more stable than not.

I find most meds take away my desire to live if any.

They want to try me on that for migraines, but it's very experimental so I'm wary.

I decided to bump this as I think it may have been prescribed to the guy experimentally for executive function problems associated
with ASD.
