I'm in NY because I had to see my LLMD. Walked out of there with a prescription for Riamet and am trying to avoid calling him up to ask him this question.

Can you get the Riamet in the US now? Or did he maybe just write it for me to take and get from Europe?

Yes you can get it filled here in the US. It is called Riamet in Europe, named Coartem here. Your pharmacist will need to call the company directly to order it for you. It is not widely distributed here in America since it's primary use is treatment of Malaria.
