Hi Nadezda.
> I wondered what you thought about the comments one person made particularly about riluzole making him "dumb"-- by which he might have meant he had some loss of acuity, agility or memory (I'm not sure).
I noticed no worsening of my cognitive abilities, which suck to begin with because of depression.
> Do you think a glutamate-enhancing type of AD would tend to have such effects?Modafinil (Provigil), a glutamate release enhancer, destroyed me. It made me very dumb and left me in a fog. It exacerbated my depression greatly.
> I know you only took rilutek for a brief period, but did you notice anything at all?
Actually, I found riluzole to be quite neutral. It affected neither my cognition nor affect.
