That is one of the many reasons that my pdoc put me on memantine so fast and gave me own responsibility of how high i want to go with the dose.
She says that it will help me build up my brain and repair the damage that all the stress and traumatic events i've been through has caused, including my 12 year long amphetamine and heroin abuse.
I think it's wise to take a weak nmda/glutamat antagonist. cause the strong antagonists make more damage and causes glutamate ecotoxicity.
But memantine is like an enhanced magnesium that easily crosses the BBB, so yeah, i will highly recommend it and it does not have any serious side effects.
I promise that, no serious. Side effects it has, but no dangerous. You know the difference.It can't make things worse so to speak so why not eat it to prevent things + i feel a lot clearer in my head and for the first time in my life i can work (i'm 26 years old an have never had av work due to my high stress liability), now i work in a store 28 hours a week without getting that extreme stress feeling. (hate to say things in english sometimes, cause it would sound a lot better in swedish lol)
You get the point i guess.
Try it, you'll like it :-)
