I have tried all standard antidepressants including an old MAOI drug Nardil. I also tried some off-label drugs like Lyrica, Modafinil...nothing has helped me yet. They either helped me short-term or didn't help at all (sometimes even made things worse).
I have read some positive reports and one life-changing story how memantine "cured" social anxiety:

...but there are also reports about memantine side effects such as worsening anxiety, depression, cognitive abilities
Do you think it is worth to try Memantine?
If so, how can I convince my doctor to prescribe it to me? The last time I asked him about memantine, he said there is no evidence that memantine can help with anxiety as an off-label treatment. I am also interested in trying Ketamine IV but it's a complicated process, since ketamine is not approved for depression treatment in my country.
Thanks
