Yes, memantine is dimethyl-amantadine.

I'm my view, amantadine is also a NMDA-glutamate antagonist, but weaker than memantine. I don't agree that amantadine is any kind of serious dopamine-reuptake inhibitor, which one study claims it is. It is only *functionally* a dopamine agonist, by means of the NMDA-inhbitory action.
