not sure what to do (Riluzole)

Posted by g_g_g_unit on August 27, 2013, at 1:03:32

tomorrow will be a week on just 25mg of Riluzole a day. I feel more agitated, anxious, wired and labile.

unfortunately, no clinician I've e-mailed has heard of such a reaction, aside from one, who claimed he found lowering the dose helpful, but then I'd basically be on a homeopathic amount (1/4 of a pill, 12.5mg, as opposed to the standard 100mg a day).

this is literally the end of the line for me. my GP has never used the drug before, and I'm not sure if I should go even lower, higher or give up.

I can't tolerate benzos (paradoxical reaction), and am taking propranolol 10mg b.i.d. which helps the physical restlessness a little, but does nothing for the other symptoms of overactivation.
