I think memantine is a D2 agonist not antagonist. Anyway, what do you mean when you say too much clarity?
I noticed with 2.5 mg prozac it did nothing.
I then added 10mgs buspar. It did not improve cognition but it improved my motivation. I then bumped prozac to 5mgs a day. I've been on 5mgs for almost two weeks and it has reversed the positive effects of buspar and made me lazy. I feel tired on it, and there has been no improvement in cognition. I plan to take 30 mgs of buspar next week and see if I feel motivated again. The highest i'll go with prozac is 10mgs. If i don't start to feel hedonic and a cognitive improvement I'll stop. ACtually I'm very skeptical that will happen and wonder if I should just stop prozac now and stick with buspar in the mean time because I was getting things done on it.
I remember brainbeard said something about low dose prozac only being a 5 HT2C antagonist and not having much SRI but I don't think thats true. I'm not even sure where he found that fact, but perhaps its the opposite. Maybe its not until the higher doses that the 5 HT2C becomes noticable.
