Does Memantine usually do this?

I take Ceretropic Memantine, a minute dose, probably less than half of a drop, and within 1-2 hours I fall asleep. I usually sleep for the entire day or night and wake up feeling very nauseous and out of it. Then, I fall back asleep again after 1-2 hours. This usually lasts for another day unless I take an adderall.
Is this normal? or am I having a bad reaction to it?
I'm using it to reduce tolerance to the amphetamine, so I was wondering if this is part of the adderall withdrawal process.
(If I don't take Memantine AND Adderall I don't sleep as much as this, or feel this out of it/nauseous.)

Less than half a drop? Do you mean less than half a dropper? A dropper is still 10mg, which is too high of a dose to start with. You need to start small, to give your body time to up-regulate your receptors. I would suggest 1/4 dropper every other day for a week, then move to 1/4 every day. Only after you have slowly ramped up should you move to the 10mg dosage.
Memantine is powerful stuff, and has a long half life. I had a customer last week jump right into 10mg every day, then wrote me saying that was a big mistake. You cannot just jump into regular doses with this compound. Also, withdrawing off amphetamine while starting a memantine dose is going to cause horrible side effects. The ACh antagonism, paired with the withdrawals from the amps, are going to make you tired as hell, and have horrible brain fog. One step at a time!
