Memantine extended release

Original post in this thread

Liquidsounds · 3 points

I have been taking memantine for about a month now, I have found it useful as a general anti depressant and also most importantly for reducing the severity of my obsessive thoughts. I am wondering if there is anywhere I can get ahold of the extended release version in the UK without a prescription as re dosing it is an inconvenience. Any suggestions?

I would say 6-8 hours. I have only been taking it for 1.5 months and currently take 5mg am 2.5mg pm. The initial brain-fog during the tiration has dissipated but I find it still makes my mind feel rather empty and perhaps makes me emotionally blunted to a degree. I do use an Ecig all day and I remember seeing you say that this could cause issues in some people, could this possibly account for my experience? My current plan is to keep increasing dosage and keep a log of the situation, I find its effects for my OCD and my anxiety to be wonderful but im not sure if I can trade that peace for what I perceive to be my mental spark.

The E-cig can certainly be playing a role. I always get side effects when combining nicotine and memantine. The NACh antagonism from the memantine seems to not play nicely with nicotine with my brain chemistry.

Are Increased Gaba Receptors By Chronic Caffeine Intake A Good Thing?

Nicotine up-regulates nicotinic ACh receptors, but also desensitizes them. It's more complex than just up/down-regulation. Acutely, caffeine lowers GABAergic neurotransmission. [Inhibitory effect of caffeine on GABA-ac

The notoriety is due to the fact that most people smoke tobacco to get it. Tobacco smoke contains harman and norharman, which are monoamine oxidase inhibitors. This increases the extracellular dopamine, serotonin, and no

E-cigarettes less addictive than cigarettes

Replying to relbatnrut · You joke, but nicotine is so much more effective as a nootropic with MAOIs (at least for me).

Ohh I know. It just also makes it more addictive.
