Namenda (memantine) and Campral (acamprosate) act in different ways that ultimately lead to a reduction in glutamate activity:
Namenda - glutamate NMDA receptor antagonist
Campral - glutamate release inhibitor
I don't think it would be justified to consider these two drugs interchangeable. If Campral doesn't help with the OCD, perhaps Namenda will.
Do you think Campral has any positive effect on depression?
