Memantine Safety
Original post in this thread

I ordered some memantine from one of our favorite vendors here and was eager to start it, hoping it might help with a few issues.
It sounds incredibly powerful and had me a little nervous, so I searched the forum history.
I came across this (http://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/2mh1s0/memantine_completely_cured_my_tinnitus/) in which OP has a mental breakdown and akathisia and is hospitalized.
What are we looking at here? Is memantine as safe as is required for the "nootropic" label?
If I start this, exactly how bad will my mental breakdown be? 6/10?

We sell a metric shitload of memantine, with only a handful of adverse reports. However, it is a very powerful substance. I would not group it with other nootropics like piracetam. You are much more likely to have side effects with memantine.
