> Scott, excellent questions to which I hope to have answers in a bit. I don't often post to the forum I was talking about, because my phone browser can't handle the site. I get my regular Internet back today, so I will ask some people in the absence of proof what made them try such a combination and anecdotally if it has prevented tolerance over time. BTW, two things: one, Viibryd is getting good reviews over at askapatient.com, although sample size is low. Two: You've mentioned in the past you had Medicare Part D. If you receive "extra help" from the SSA for your drug copays and/or are dual eligible for Medicaid, you can switch Medicare Part D plans at any time without penalty. Put in your drug list at Medicare.gov and see which plans have Viibryd on their formulary. I am having to make a switch myself due to needing coverage for testosterone. I wish you good luck, you deserve some lasting, real relief.
Thanks for the info and your encouraging words. I really do appreciate them.
Memantine is a rather benign drug. I guess you will have to try it for yourself to arrive at an answer to your question. I recommend titrating it using the starter pack.
Good luck.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
