> It took a few weeks at 20mg for me to receive benefit from memantine. I think I was taking Lamictal + imipramine at the time. The improvement was episodic and lasted about two weeks before it disappeared completely.Yes, now I remember that the effect faded for you. 20 mg huh? I was hoping for an effect at 5 mg - economics of meds acquisition. Very low doses are often enough for me. But from what you report it sounds like I should increase it again soon if I can tolerate it.
> It should be encouraging
> to you that someone as treatment-resistant as me should have responded at all. Maybe it will stick for you.Hey, ya never know. Again, I can't recall if I asked (I didn't get that new brain for Christmas) whether you noticed SEs from it. I suppose we are both board guinea pigs for memantine.
What's your experience with tricyclics been like?
> Thanks. I'll say a few prayers for you too.
Thanks.
