Has anyone tried Namenda or Mematine, particularly for treatment resistant or rapid cycling bipolar depression.
It is off label, it is mainly a ahlzheimers med. I heard about it a while back. It works on the glutamate system in the brain. There are some new articles out on results of clinical trials that were for TR bipolar depression. 72% of the patients with treatment resistant bipolar depression had marked improvement within 6 months. The dose was 10 to 30 mgs per day. I just started it today at 5 mg 2 times per day. I hope it helps, because I am definitely in the treatment resistant population. They are also saying it helps OCD, which I have too. __________________  JASON 8/17/1985 to 1/03/2013 I miss you sweetheart |
