I took 100 mg but it really in retrospect, I really can't recommend it.
If you didn't feel any effect on 80, I doubt 100 will make a dramatic transformation.
Rilotek, or generic name rilozole, is a different class of drug-- it was originall for ALS, but it turned out not to help the ALS that much-- but to elevate the mood of sufferers.
Typical story of how anti-depressants are found.
I think it's an incredibly good drug-- but unfortunately, it's pretty expensive-- and not used that often as an adjunct to other drugs.
I would recommend trying it--if you can get it-- because it does help with energy and is also calming, and noticeably improves my mood, without emotional flatness.
My insurance just switched to Express Scripts, which I think is pretty awful-- Emsam is not on their formulary so I have to pay a lot more for it-- but it's still of course less expensive than the open market--. I"m waiting to see if they'll cover rilozule for depression-- or will refuse, because of the off-labelish use. I'm not toally optimistic.
But-- I do highly recommend it-- it really helped me.
Emsam.
