> I think at best you'll ever hear is anecdotal evidence of this medicine being useful for ampetamine tolerance. The jury is still out frankly. People may feel more comfortable prescribing it off-label after it gets official clinical approval for other indications in the US, but I doubt you'll ever see official human clinical data to the amphetamine tolerance issue (boy wouldn't a lot of people sign up for that clinical trial!). There is research data from lab rats....

> JohnHi John,
I am on the edge of my seat! AndrewB and James both stopped posting shortly after starting a memantine/Adderall trial. Were they arrested, are they institutionalized, deceased, completely cured?
By the way, I am 45, live with mom, and unemployed. I am looking for anything that might help with high-functioning autism. The most relevant conditions mentioned on this board would be avoidant personality or generalized social phobia (along with fatigue). I haven't tried many medications. I currently take 10mg fluoxetine which reduces my startle response and irritability level, and 50mg amisulpride which helps very little (but consistently) with social functioning. Still very tired.
Later,
