Positive experiences
“I feel like I have all the positives of Adderall (focus, motivation, mood increase) without any noticeable downsides. No crash, no anxiety, no cardiac issues.”
“Memantine (7/10): For the first few days, I felt amazing on it. I definitely felt an increased mood and decreased anxiety. Those effects subdued...”
“Memantine 10-30mg. Helps me significantly with general anxiety and hypervigilance from cPTSD. It also just generally improves mood when used sparingly.”
“I've been on Memantine at 10mg/day for over a month now. I can focus better, it's easier to motivate myself to get things done, and I'm procrastinating much less than I used to.”
“it gives me that "don't give a fuck" type of alpha calm feeling, albeit mildly.”
“I noticed benefits as early as 3 days of taking 10mgs daily in dived doses.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I woke up the next day feeling incredible! I felt light and buoyant...I felt light and buoyant. I had a strong desire to be outside in nature...my memory started to improve, my verbal fluency went up as well.”
“I have taken MEM for depression, and I must say it worked really well, the brain fog is not unbearable and only lasted the day of the first dose.”
“12:00 i feel a boost in mood and motivation, the motivation is normal with adderall but i belive the memantine is boosting my mood.”
“Used memantine to get off of kratom and it worked amazingly! But now I’m dependent on memantine.”
“I really like Memantine and Agmatine. Both works effective in terms of treating my anxiety and anhedonia. Unfortunately they both create too many side-effects. Memantine makes euphoric and wierd.”
“I've been testing memantine at 5 mgs for about a week. It's been pretty great so far. Calm focus, increased sex drive, a little detached.”
