N-acetyl-selank vs. Memantine for severe anxiety?

I had a post written out, which I subsequently lost, so will keep this pretty short, I guess. I have severe OCD, ADD and fatigued/anergic depression. I've found stuff like NSI-189, DHF, coluracetam etc. helpful for ADD/depression, but not much has put a dent in my crippling anxiety.

Alternatively, I was considering going down the Memantine/stimulant route (pending I respond positively to Memantine .. I haven't in the past, but NSI-189 has reversed some of my previous 'paradoxical' reactions, and I'm curious to try it again), but wasn't sure if the combo was now considered somewhat archaic, despite it's popularity a few years ago. Is anyone still taking Memantine + psychostimulant? Even though beggars can't be choosers, I'm a little worried about loss of creativity on the combination, and subtle cognitive impairments (someone online once referred to it as 'pharmaceutical beer googles').
I would normally just order both Selank and…
