I'd really like to try adding Memantine to Parnate - a) to help with anxiety (which it did, rather tremendously, from memory, but I think I just dosed too high), b) to alleviate tolerance to the stimulant aspect (helpful for ADHD), c) for extra focus benefits.
My psychiatrist won't prescribe it. I know I'm taking a risk, the responsibility is mine etc. I think my biggest fear is its potential to trigger psychosis, which I worry might be exacerbated by the Parnate insomnia. Is this a reasonable fear?
I'm not sure the best way to go about this and am trying not to be impulsive. One thing at a time, i.e. reach a therapeutic Parnate dose, try get sleep under control, then see if Memantine helps?
My only concern is growing tolerant to the stimulation before that point.
