Sadly, I've yet to meet an Australian p-doc who isn't.

Okay. If you google Memantine + psychosis, there are several isolated reports of it developing. I just didn't want to do anything radically stupid, especially when my sleep is currently not-that-great. Have you found Memantine to worsen insomnia?

Well, it is being trialed as an independent treatment for ADHD. I do find Parnate alone somewhat helpful in that respect, so even if I could just prevent tolerance, I'd be happy.

I also know you referred to it as a weak anxiolytic it an earlier thread, but I recall it being profoundly calming.
