Hi Scott,
What's your status and current opinion about memantine wrt to fatigue, *motivation*, concentration, mood? All those important things. :)
After singing some praises of Mirapex a day or so ago, I've been thinking. I'm starting to think I may ditch it. The mood control I have now isn't bad. But the exhaustion/weakenss is getting intolerable. I still have inner tension that I'd like to control, but anything calming just worsens the fatigue. In short, I'm getting nothing done, which is a creating a serious situation and worsening anxiety.
Part of this fatigue might be related to mega-stress. But I have a feeling that something's not right.
Okay, enough moaning. I'm thinking it might be time to suggest a trial of memantine where I actually pay attention to what I'm doing. Either that or my pdoc will talk me into trying Strattera first. I know a Strattera trial would take several weeks. I don't know how long it might take memantine to kick in.
BTW, I'm happy to hear that duloxetine seems to be helping you.
