It is ketamine that is being used in resrach for relief of depression... The article is titled, "Antidepressant Effects of ketamine in depressed Patients".

Ketamine is a NMDA receptor antagonist, for those of you science/pharmaceutical wiz kids.

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused... The other med used in research is Riluzole, the article is titled "Riluzole Augmentation for Treatment- Resistant Depression". Riluzole is a ALS drug and is a putative antilutamatergic agent.
