Hi,
I live in canada, things mabye different in america... but riluzole is really hard to get ur hands on i believe... in canada, u must fill out form after form claiming that u have ALS i believe... i was lucky because a pharmacy happened to have some left over and they gave it to me, which I believe was a big beaucratic error... anywayz, its very expensive and really hard to get.... but this may change which all the interest in it for mental illness.... once again, this was just my experience in canada.. good luck!

I tried riluzole to treat bipolar depression. It did nothing at all for me. The drug seemed inert.You might want to try memantine first if you believe NMDA antagonism is worth investigating.
