... I tried doing a search on our forum site, but finally just decided to ask the question, even though I'm sure its been asked and answered many times. I don't know if my added weakness is a side effect of the medication, and if so, how long is a reasonable time to get my body to get used to it? Has anyone else experienced weakness as a side effect?
I delayed starting to take it for a while, because of waiting for blood test results, but then after I began having many more problems with the legs I decided to start it. So, at least I know not to attribute Riluzole as the cause the increasing fasciculations, as they'd already set in, but I've not felt well at all since beginning it.
Who hates it, and who think it helps?
thanks,and take care everyone
