In reply to selegiline, memantine questions, posted by Emme on January 31, 2004, at 13:18:22
I think the main reason to try this combo is anti-poopout. From my experience I would say memantine is not very good for increased concentration, however it might even out selegilines effects and keep guard against poopout. My limited experience with this combo is below.
I have been on liquid selegiline for about 3 weeks now and added in memantine two days ago. The memantine is for anti-poopout effect. Hopefully the selegiline/memantine combo will not poop out like with ritalin and adderal.Yesterday I took only 2.5 m (one fourth of a pill) of memantine and 4 hours later when I was swimming laps I got the worst headache ever! I felt like my temple area was going to explode. Also after my swim I took a shower and got really spaced out and confused. Is this a common side-effect? Does memantine have a bad effects on attention and focus. Its seems as if the memantine has taken away some of good effects of the selegiline ie focused/attention. I am a little scared now of increasing the dose. Would 2.5 be sufficient for anti-poopout. Also is it true that memantine has a half life of 75-100 hours almost like prozac?
Any one else have experience with memantine and selegiline or stimulants? I'd be really interested to hear other experiences.
