Hi everyone! I don't understand what is tolerance... In wikipedia says something like “it is a condition where a drug does no longer produce the desired effect”.
If I negate this proposition, it would say something like this: “If a drug produces the desire effect then you have not developed tolerance to it.”
Now, my question is... if you take something in order to prevent tolerance (for example, memantine) wouldn't this be equivalent than waiting for tolerance to develop and being at that time, do nothing about it?
What I am trying to say is, if memantine for example reduces tolerance or prevents (methylphenidate) tolerance, then we could say that methylphenidate would not “work” or produce the same effect if you take memantine? Thus what's the point of taking memantine???
