My pdoc gave me resounding NO when I asked about Buprenorphine a few years back. I assume it's because it's such a heavily regulated drug. There have been posters on this board who used it with great success
Dextromethorphan, if that's the stuff in OTC cough medicine, made me feel REALLY stupid, weird and incredibly nauseous
But I'll look into Memantine, though it's probably too expensive... everything is these days... sigh
namaste,
