In reply to Riluzole - whos tried this drug for depression???, posted by bipolarspectrum on January 11, 2004, at 22:29:04
I also have expressed interest in Rilutek on this board several times in the past. It's neuroprotective, due to glutamate/NMDA-receptor antagonism, and it also increases the action of GABA through several mechanisms, making it perhaps an ideal candidate for some people with anxiety disorders. It's also being studied as a treatment for depression.
It was one of the drugs on my list of meds I've yet to try, but now I'm (finally) happily on Prozac, Klonopin, Adderall, Tuinal, and Somnote. Should I decide to give Rilutek a try though one day, I'll keep you posted!
