mogger, i trialled memantine for OCD a year ago with mixed results. i saw some improvement at a low dose, but was then quickly titrated up to 20mg, which just induced cognitive dysfunction and depression.
i've actually mail-ordered some from an internet pharmacy because i'm interested in retrialling it at a lower dose.
not many people seem to have had success against OCD here, though i wonder if that may have something to do with the nature of their OCD. the initial benefits i reaped were a decrease in anxiety and an increase in focus, so maybe it could indirectly help OCD (especially pure-O) by improving your ability to regulate your attention? i don't know.
