> I thought perhaps that 20mg might yield some alternate effects, so was considering just starting directly at 20mg without titrating, though if I reacted badly to lower doses, perhaps it isn't worth my time?
I had thought to suggest that you restart memantine at 20 mg/day so that you can test your idea. However, I am reluctant to encourage anyone else to try it under the premise that they would find the drug as tolerable as I did.
I once started memantine right at 20 mg/day. For me personally, I am not afraid of memantine, and would probably restart it at 20 mg/day again if I wanted to add it to my present treatment regime. The worst thing that I would anticipate happening is a transient feeling of brain-fog and perhaps drunkeness along with nausea and headache.
I am not aware of any dangerous reactions to 40 mg/day of memantine.
I guess I haven't really helped you out with this post.
Sorry.
