Read more @http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11134695&itool=iconabstrADDITIONALLY & Interestingly, The cough suppressant dextromethorphan is an NMDA antagonist at least in low doses i.e. < 15 mg
and maybe of some value in preventing stimulant tolerance before it has occurred. hmmmmmmm!I think memantine is also an NMDA antagonist. Also Valproate might have some value in prevent longterm stimulant tolerance resulting in lower maintenance doses.
