>Yes, especially as you seem to be highly sensitive to it, a low dose may be sufficient to produce useful effects. Also, some side effects may disappear on continued usage. Yet another point to consider is that high doses can have analgesic effects, and moreover, tolerance to opioids is antagonised - possibly, their effects may also be enhanced by memantine; this could potentially be exploited to control headache, e.g. with codeine.
