I have severe refractory depression and the only thing that really works for me is MAOIs. Needless to say this is a pain as it makes eating out and traveling difficult. I recently read on the NIMH website about a clinical trial for something called memantadine. Its been in the news lately for Alzheimers disease, but at NIMH they are testing it as an antidepressant. In Germany, its already approved for dementia and parkinsons disease.
Has anyone tried this stuff? Maybe someone from overseas? I am curious about this drug because it is said to not only clear up depression but also the pseudu-dementia that oftentimes comes with severe depression.
