Experiences with

Ampyra

Who’s tried it and how have the results been?

Starting the generic of Ampyra on Monday. GoodRx was a HUGE help in getting the cost very reasonable. For the ones on it, when did you notice any changes?

Last night i forgot my Ampyra and am having trouble getting around inside today. I believe i am having a flare up. Yes, i have an appointment with my neurologist.

I would say it’s always a good idea to check with your neurologist before ever switching the duration. If it says every 12 hours, then their may be a great reason why. Also, I have learned to check data from a website and not to just assume it’s accurate. Thank you so much everyone .

I have been taking Ampyra for about ten years every 12 hours, but I see now by reading an article that it may be optimal to take the medication every 8 hours. Does anyone take this medication like this and do you see benefits?

Just took my 1st ampyra pill

It was there that I first read about Ampyra as well. But, I digress. It was originally envisaged that sobetirome could be used to stimulate hepatic pathways that lower cholesterol without harmful side effects and might be used in conjunction with statins.

Does anyone think generic ampyra works just as well for them as name brand?

I’ve taken ampyra 5 days now and when i walked with my husband yesterday and our dogs he (husband) said it looked like my foot was dragging less!! It was still hard to walk right but i started noticing that it was easier to walk without foot drop!

Does anyone take ampyra? How is it?

My doctor wants me to start taking Ampyra to help me walk better. This medicine cost around $2,000. My local pharmacy can not fill my prescription because my insurance wants to use their own pharmacy.

I've been taking Ampyra for years. About 6+ months ago I noticed my walking was significantly worse. That's about the same time I started receiving the generic form of Ampyra. I don't believe it's working! Has anyone else taking the generic form found that your walking/gait has become worse?

I have been on the brand pill Ampyra for about two weeks now. Should I see an improvement by now, or is it too early yet. Before this, I was on the generic for a month and it didn't work; that's why I switched to the brand name. How long before I see some improvement? Thanks.

Ampyra has been my miracle drug and Rebif continues to work well. I am going to try a sleeping pill. Bad sleep and increased fatigue were my only complaints today. On a side note...my tomatoes are taller than I am!

I take Ampyra, a potassium channel blocker, so that I can walk, low dose hydrocortisone, and Apixiban. I have refused other medications because as I read about them I do not understand their benefit.

He also have me some Duloxetine for my headaches and Ampyra to help with my walking also Baclofen for my muscle spasms... I'll keep you guys posted on how the medicine makes me feel.

Just got Ampyra today. Very hesitant to take it after reading the insert. Anyone have any experience with this drug?

Ampyra really has been a miracle worker for me. My family just spent four days hiking in southern Utah. Temperatures were perfect! Ready to be amazed? We hiked....27.53 miles!! That’s a marathon! I’m so excited! Now we’ll see if I pay for it next week!

Now, suddenly now unable to walk, and the neurologist recommending Ampyra and it working almost immediately (within an hour), the neurologist acknowledge I have not RRMS but progressive MS. And the future however, more tenuous and uncertain, remains.

Opiods and the like were not much help neither was Ampyra. This is not to say that one hundred percent for sure they will not help “YOU”. Al through this journey it pays to be willing to experiment on yourself. As the Briish Special Air Service motto says, Who Dares Wins.
