Transdermal delivery systems for the systemic delivery of memantine are described, wherein the system comprises a drug reservoir layer and an adhesive layer, optionally together with one or more intermediate and/or supporting layers, wherein the drug reservoir layer comprises an acrylate polymer or copolymer, a permeation enhancer, a carrier, and memantine base generated in situ by reaction of a memantine salt and an alkaline salt. Compositions and kits comprising the various components, e.g., drug reservoir and/or adhesive compositions are described. Methods relating to treatment of CNS disorders, e.g., Alzheimer's disease and/or dementia, using the aforementioned transdermal delivery devices and/or compositions are also described.
