In reply to Ketamine - OR - what about high dose Memantine?, posted by uncouth on April 28, 2009, at 19:42:36
Apparently the study that was carried out used only very small doses of ketamine and had a 70% success rate, so it might still be worth giving it a go if you're very careful with dosing.
> Ok, then if the guidance is to stay away from Ketamine as a risky compound for killing this depression, what about ultra-high-dose Memantine? Anyone know if that's worth trying, or if the pharmacokinetics even make such an attempt workable? I'm currently at 40mg and honestly I can't really tell what affect if anything it is having, I take 20mg 2x a day, but have only been on it for a month as I was able to convince my pdoc to Rx me Namenda to help with ECT cognitive side effects.
