This is interesting. It's a shame that riluzole is so APPAULINGLY expensive. Perhaps if the manufacturer got it approved for some common psych disorders the price would come down and it would be more readily available,
Kind regards

I wonder if this effect is shared by other glutamate modulating agents.
