    My husband has been taking Riluzole  since his diagnosis on July 2019.  His appetite is still great, but after a few months he can’t taste anything and his sense of smell is gone.  So he backs off and takes one Riluzole a day, and in about two weeks the taste is totally back.  When ever there is an event or a holiday he makes sure he is only taking one pill for at least two weeks before.

    I was diagnosed in July of 2019 and have been taking 2 Rilozole a days.  About every two months or so ( I don’t an accurate number of days because it is different every time) I completely lose my taste.  I cut back to one tablet a day, and in about a weeks time I get my taste buds back again.   When I feel my legs twitching very badly, I go back to two tabs.
