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.)

Hi. I'm the guy from around the corner with the thread about Remeron and the psych who wanted him to cut Adderall immediately. Can confirm withdraws. Immediately got another psych lined up because no. I also take Memantine, I have had a queasy morning or two but I basically went from 5mg every night up to 10mg in 3 days. At least that reaction I assume can be typical depending on how sensitive you could be to it. Not really taking Memantine at the moment because Remeron. Don't know enough to even speculate the interactions.

The first time I took memantine, I jumped right into 10mg/day. By the second day, the brain fog and queasy feelings were very bad. It basically ruined my ability to work for 2 days.
I have since gone off memantine, then jumped right back into the 10mg/day dosage without a ramp up, to see how I would react. I did not have the same severe reaction the second time around. So it seems there is some mechanism there that your body gets used to after a round of regular memantine use.
