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.)

I've had to chance to try Ebixa, the brand-name version, manufactured in France if I am not mistaken. It was pricey but I was at a country where I could get it without a prescription at that point.
Having tried the brand name version, I could tell you that those effects are neither normal nor expected. You should stop taking it immediately. Falling asleep for an abnormal amount of time and waking up in a state of confusion is a very bad sign.
I am not saying Ceretropic's version has problems. If I trust a nootropics seller, that would be Ceretropic but it seems like you are responding this substance in a peculiar way and you should stop taking it.
That being said, what is your dosage? With memantine, especially for stimulant tolerance reduction, you should slowly ramp up your dose.

He's withdrawing off amphetamine, and starting an extremely powerful substance. That is a bad idea! One needs to slowly ramp up the memantine dosage before trying to also deal with withdrawals. Hell, just jumping right into a 10mg memantine dose is hard enough without the hell of amphetamine withdrawal.
