Hi, long time no post for me. I'm taking memantine, lithium, NAC, and am planning to start 150mg of Rilutek. The strategy is to counteract glutamate instability. Does anyone have any optinions or experience with any of these drugs:"
How did you feel on them?L
Were they effective?
What did they most effectively treat?
How .ong did it take for them to start working?
Side effects?
ADHD efficacy?
Bipolar depreassion efficacy?Glutamate hyperactivity and hypoactivity is a big part of depression. I have a feeling this combo could be my savior :)

Just don't force your glutamate too low, or you'll go psychotic or shut down all long term potentiation.
I think too much glutamate antagonism can also be neurotoxic.

What do you mean by "shut down all long term potentiation"?
