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.
I was just wondering if anyone had found N-Acetyl-Selank useful for intrusive thoughts, or if it was better for physical anxiety? Does it dull pleasure/creativity in the way some anxiolytics can? Does it make getting to sleep on stimulants any easier?
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…

Yeah. I had made a policy of using it in only important and stressful situations when I would not have to interact with anyone else the next day. Without going into too much detail, it bit me in the ass twice and had pretty bad long-term effects on my personal life. I do think it can be used in some cases but it's still a bit of a gamble.

I seem to get depressed 2-3 days after taking it. I even had one night where I was anxious and nervous trying to get to sleep, and that never happens with me. I'll stick to my Xanax prescription if I need to calm down, or N-Acetyl Selank for normal use.
