> I have been less tolerant to the cold over the last week or so. Yesterday, I caught a chill that had me shivering under the blankets. I haven't taken any memanting since yesterday morning. I seem to be alright now.Maybe ramping down and going back up slowly will avoid some of that. Or perhaps you are coincidentally fighting off a cold?
> If you are receiving such benefit from memantine, I think you should continue to work with it and perhaps add an activating drug of some sort (modafinil, methylphenidate, amphetamine, bupropion).
Yeah, I'm hanging on to the feeling as long as I can. :) It'll probably take some patience to work with this. I've been trying a speck of provigil. Despite the drowsy fatigue, I also feel a little tired/wired some of the time(even w/o provigil). My pulse is increased on memantine too. We are cautiously dropping my dose of Lamictal to try to lower the overall amount of medication in me.
Keep us posted on the memantine retrial. It would be nice if you got some benefit that lasted more than two weeks. You're still on cymbalta, right?
