Possible drug approaches to hit Glutamate?

Posted by kilo8 on May 5, 2015, at 22:49:22

Hi,
which drugs come to your mind when one wants to take a shot at modulating glutamate? I think that glutamate could be one of my issues cause ocd is linked to glutamate and Lexapro for example didn't help me at all with ocd.
The problem which I see is that other than Lamictal there don't seem to be drugs which affect glutamate which are officially allowed for depression.
Stuff like riluzole isn't used for depression and getting it off-lable would be way too expensive if I had to pay it myself.
I already tried Memantine and it didn't do much.
Then there's also Lyrica but Lyrica is too scary to me. I read it messes with your memory. I also dont know if Lyrica is even safe long term. I mean if benzos might cause dementia then what about Lyrica? I think that there's no way to really tell if Lyrica is safe on the long run.
