Hi Jon,
I would hate to take hope from you or anyone, and that's not my intention, but I just wanted to stress that any success with memantine is purely anecdotal. It's so easy to get excited about case reports. All things being equal, approaching your illness scientifically with a good doctor is your best bet.

> i am now taking 2 15mg spansules a day. the effects are small and transient. i notice when i have a cigarette the dex effect really goes down for about 30 mins. maybe dopamine drain out? any thoughts here? also how does memantine work? what is it commonly used for? (if it is common at all) itake a few supplements but they are just for general health, not to help my problem. (ginko, multi, salmon oil, lecithin and a couple others) i take dex for a.d.d, chronic fatigue, mild depression and lack of motivation and interest, and most importantly for social phobia. it helps all of these but like i said the effects are either small and transient (spansules) or drastic and short lived. (quick acting pills.)

> i was reading a two year old post by someone named anbrew B. seems like a smart guy. he described his social phobia and it sounds almost identical to mine. also, his med responses have been very similar to mine (if not identical.) he reported a reversal to adderal poop out with memantine. interesting. maybe some here knew andrew. does anybody still have contact with him? his response to amisulpride really sparked hope in me, considering that i have suspected that it may help me.
