> I have feeling my body is going to devlop a resitance to it. But what should I expect from it??

I won't answer that question because I can make no guarantees. Memantine will affect different people in different ways. I found that it helped improve my depression only mildly in combination with antidepressants. I don't think memantine is the type of drug for which tolerance develops. However, your psychobiology seems resistant to change, and, once again, there are no guarantees.

I would try memantine. It is a benign drug with some potential to help you with depression and perhaps even cognitive / memory impairments.

If you have a history of physical abuse, emotional abuse, or parental neglect, a drug called prazosin might help in combination with antidepressants. It is thought to help PTSD by reducing nightmares and sleep disruptions. However, I am finding that it helps all day long without my building up a tolerance to it (so far). Prazosin was first developed to treat high blood pressure by blocking peripheral NE alpha-1 receptors. However, it enters the brain readily and affects these receptors there also.
