> what made you pursue the glutamate angle?

- Lamotrigine helps me.
- Topamax helps me.
- Provigil hurts me.
- Glutamate inhibition in the thalamus results in an increase in dopaminergic activity in the nucleus accumbens (the reward/feel-good center).

As I see it here, I guess it is possible for memantine to improve anhedonia.

What dosage of memantine are you using now, and how high are you willing to go with it?

Currently:

Parnate 80mg
nortriptyline 150mg
Lamictal 200mg
Abilify 20mg
memantine 20mg.
