For me, riluzole was an unconscionably expensive sugar pill. I felt neither better nor worse with respect to bipolar depression. I tried memantine 20 mg/day for a few weeks. I didn't take it long enough, nor did I take a high enough dosage. Lamictal might be helpful in that it inhibits glutamate release, thus reducing the stimulation of NMDA receptors.
