Clemastine Fumerate for remyelination

[Memphiscat2017]

Has anyone tried clemastine fumerate as a treatment for remyelination?

Hi

This is a very fair question. I had never heard of clemastine fumerate before. I see it has been used as a therapy for MS, but the results seem marginal to say the least.

I've done a lot of reading about it and was actually looking at some of my notes from 2 years ago. It seems like it was promising and simple for remylenation the biggest side effect is drowsiness especially at the larger doses.

Sorry I never heard of this before

I’m currently trying it because my physical therapist has an older MS patient that is doing well with this therapy. Yes, it can cause drowsiness, but I take it in the evening before bed and mid-afternoon when I’m busiest and won’t notice the drowsiness. We’ll see!! Hopefully optimistic!!

Are you talking about Claritin?

No it’s a different antihistamine.
