Memantine cured my allergies?

I have been taking Memantine now for a little over a month. I am up to 20mg B.I.D. as per my psychiatrists orders. I am having great success with it for my OCD, GAD, Anhedonia, and ADHD. My memory is sharper than ever and my mood is more stable. There is one thing that stuck out to me though, and that's that my allergies seemed to be cured.
I moved into my girlfriends parents house while she goes to treatment for her eating disorder. She has three cats and a dog, and last time I was here (Christmas) it took 5 minutes from the time I walked into the door to be having an allergy attack. I was taking allergy pills like tic tacs (not really).
The only thing that changed from last time and now is the Memantine. I don't know how it would cure or at least help my allergies but I believe it did. Nothing else changed, no meds, no nothing and I am not currently taking allergy pills because I don't need them. The only thing I found about Memantine and histamine was that it increased histamine neuron activity. I will put the study down below, and hopefully someone can chime in and throw some ideas why this happened. Also, I know a lot of people have questions about Memantine, I've been ge…

If you're really interested they will provide you a GC/MS readout of their products or anything else you want. From what I've heard /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb state they kept the dosage like this so people didn't OD. Memantine is fairly strong stuff and it's easy to mess up 5mg compared to 50mg or 500mg with pretty terrible consequences. Sorry to necro just wanted to let you know :).

Under-dosed? What is this guy talking about? I get messages every week saying our Memantine is more potent than the name brand Namenda pills. People actually ask if they should lower their normal dosage they have been on with the pills.
We do rigorous testing on all our stuff. It's the core of what we are! I was on the phone with Colin at the lab for over an hour last night, figuring out results from various things. I reject shipments all the time that are not up to our standards. I rejected a Phenylpiracetam and PRL-8-53 batch last week, even though they tested pure. I could smell solvents, though. So no way I am okaying that for sale. There were no reference standards for Unifiram, so we ran an FTIR, P-NMR, HPLC, and GC/MS. I am not going to just wing it, and trust my suppliers. They sent me DXM labeled as Bromantane for fucks sake. I don't trust anyone. I even change suppliers for various things, because I feel their powders are more effective. That is even though I can find no difference in purity, and they cost more. It's why we are not the cheapest out there. I don't always go with the lowest priced supplier. I go with who I feel has the more effective product.
Blindly saying it is possible we under-dose or do not have pure Memantine, without evidence, is baseless speculation that helps nobody.
