After being on Riluzole for about a month I became very tired and had absolutely no appetite – no food sounded good.  This lasted about 2-3 weeks but seems to be much better after being on Riluzole for about 7-8 weeks.  I still need lots of sleep (11 hours) but it is manageable.  Appetite is fine.  I continued to take the Riluzole so don’t know how I would feel if I were off of it.
