> I've wondered if the dissociative effects (mostly mental fog for me) are dose dependent or time dependent. Do they fade over time? Most people on the board who've discontinued memantine seem to have increased dosages over time until the side effects overwhelmed any advantage. Does anyone have experience with the side effect diminishing at a stable dosage (20mg is Merz's recommended dose)?
you're right. if Memantine were to begin to inhibit MAO at a certain dose, then that might help with the dissociative effect. i only stayed on it for a couple of weeks; i don't know of anyone who really stuck with it long-term after the initial stimulation wore off
