Hi Linkadge
I took memantine/Namenda a few years back as part of a drug study (not for any mental type illness though). I found it to have quite noticeable 'calming' properties as well as appearing to have an antidepressant effect. I was also taking 60mg Prozac at the time.
I found memantine made me quite light headed and dizzy at times; however, I later read on the net that fluoxetine and memantine can interact although I haven't read this anywhere since.
If I had the chance I would definitely like to give memantine another go. I hope it gets licensed for depression/anxiety one day.
