Hi Denise.
For me, the addition of riluzole to Lamictal was not at all helpful. The only impact it made was on my precription plan. It is prohibitively expensive.
I don't want to get too theoretical here, but riluzole and Lamictal impact glutamatergic neurons in opposite ways.
1. Lamictal - glutamate release inhibitor.
2. riluzole - glutamate release enhancer.

I don't know whether these seemingly opposite mechanisms would effectively prevent a response.
I don't want to guarantee that the combination of these two drugs will produce no response or interact in ways that might actually make some people feel worse.
