Unhappy Can Rilutek make symptoms worse???
I got my dx just October 13th. My primary obvious symptoms had been weakness and slowness in the left hand/wrist and a very slow rate of speech.

I started taking Rilutek November 15th at 50mg, 2x/day and have noticed my symptoms have gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Could this be a coincidence or has anyone out there heard that some people have this reaction? I was already thinking that 3 months was not worth not being able to drink as much as I want. I'm darn sure if it is going to make me weaker.
