Namenda, so far, so good

Just in case you guys are interested, I convinced my doctor to prescribe me Namenda (memantine HCL) 60mg a day in addition to my antidepressants and Lamictal. I've had treatment resistant/bipolar II depression for a LOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG time. Please take me seriously when I say that I have been able to find COMPLETE remission using memantine and I am even euthymic. Basically, I feel f'n great (this has been 3-4 months so far I think, so I haven't wanted to post; I've been disappointed one too many times) and am even able to take a heavy dose of antidepressants without experiencing either poopout or severe mood swings. I am also DEFINITELY not manic, just incredibly content that I've found this magic formula of meds. My doctor even called Forest labs and found out that they have had success with treating depression in trials using JUST Namenda at 40mg. They didn't want to give any further details for obvious reasons. I hope this post is informative, and if anyone wants to ask me exactly what I'm on, how I feel, etc etc, my email address is plush@optonline.net .
