You may wish to try gastrodin, a drug from gastrodia elata tuber extract. It is a GABA-T/SSADH inhibitor with nootropic, anti-ischemic, and I believe antioxidant properties. It is used for all sorts of things in many countries around the world, esp. China.
When I said that there is a large % of visual field defects, I said that it was RELATIVE to the dangers of taking other drugs. I am not sure what the absolute risk is, but I've read a little about it and it seems to be far from trivial, such as the risk of cataracts from seroquel, etc.
But people take pemoline and nefazodone w/o liver problems, so you could be fine. VISION seems like something I really wouldn't want to mess with, though.
BTW, memantine is activating (indirect dopamine releaser), as is amantadine. Have you tried either of those? There is also riluzole.
