If you're changing things to try to test a reaction, the only real way is make sure you're not doing more than one thing differently at a time. It sounds as though there's enough instability in the drugs, that it's worth getting a clear reading, by waiting a while.

i've thought about it a bit. i know technically it would be wisest to stop again and restart the riluzole in a few weeks, but i'm in so much continual agony that i don't think i can wait that long -- especially given riluzole seems to take so long to kick in. i plan to continue with the full two-month's worth of Riluzole i have (unless something goes awfully wrong), and can't see how a glutamate antagonist would negatively interact with the MAOI or its withdrawal, so might just carry on
