So I convinced my doc to let me try memantine for ADD-I. Previously, I was taking strattera for about 6 months, with very little benefit and a whole lot of unpleasantness.
Started 5mg wednesday morning. Felt depressed and irritable all morning, but it faded in the afternoon. I'm pretty certain it is the memantine. Also had a hard time falling asleep.
Yesterday, I felt vaguely depressed all day, but less so than Wednesday.
Obviously, no noticeable ADD effects yet, but I am still titrating up.
We'll see. Anyone else here ever take it for add-i symptoms? I've seen some other threads here on memantine, but for other dx'es...
Regards
