I mentioned this in another post. Some people say memantine helps with building tolerance to amphetamine.
Not sure what your doc's logic is in this choice though. You arent initially responding to anything, right? And they arent using any stimulants, so whats to develop tolerance to?
Memantine is a D2 agonist.. maybe thats the goal?
Or slowing glutamate which might be related to brain damage?
Hopefully it doesnt do anything to make you more prone to drug seeking. Supposedly D2 agonism can do that.
Have you had any MRI's that show brain damage? Or a previous IQ test that shows a much higher score that might support the assumption it came from drug use? Seems a bit odd to me.
