we have to remember how low our dosages typically are. most of us take 20mg or less... i think there is a product coming out normalising 27mg or something in some combo $$$ brandname preparation. 10mg/kg is gigantic, i know this a new post, but i need some means of tagging somewhere here that it tends to be these studies with very high doses that we see protection vs extreme drug/neurotransmitter effects. i would wonder if the typical low 20mg memantine + amp/adderall is more neurotoxic to subcortical dopaminergic neurons that we need to supplement with other things, not just rely on what (while amazing) is merely fending off tolerance at that dose. i don't think they necessarily confirm the existence of the other (tolerance mitigation, dopaminergic toxicity mitigation) i have gone back to this combo, with alcar, with ala, with creatine (a bit/need to work on dosing), with vit c, with melatonin. i think these help. i may think try to brainstorm what else may be helpful. this is relevant as i think while alcar helps it doesn't outright prevent my getting into aimless loops and cluttered confused movement trouble which i think are associated with hyperthermia. memantine i think would have to be at a much higher dose to help me, and esp. as someone whose movement problems seemed to begin with the SSRIs. maybe time to look at clonidine, idk. anyway, sorry for pasting this here, kinda took the liberty since this was so old, yet i figured my observations were really important, unvoiced elsewhere (that i could easily find at least).
