In reply to memantine: it prevents serotonin syndrome, posted by desolationrower on September 22, 2008, at 19:19:51

Interesting journal note, but do take note that this is in rats, they were treated with Risperdal, ketanserin, which is a biological drug not marketed but to labs and is a potent 5HT blocker, and a small amount of MK-801 which never came to market because of problems in the brain and probably also because it was recreational like ketamine which also involves NMDA, was used along with memantine.

And not everyone's experience with memantine is innocuous -- it can cause confusion in some.

For myself, it did wierd things once I reached 20mg, made my disorder completely outside the box to the point of thinking "this is just wrong." Ceased memantine, and it stopped. Which was unfortunate because it was one trial to get some of my short term memory loss due to benzodiazepine usage back.


Now of course, that's my experience -- may your experience with Namenda be better.
