Going Off Ampryra After 3 Months (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I got off ampyra after taking for 3 months because I felt it did not help my walking and caused other problems. I was not happy putting up with insomnia but was willing to tolerate if it was a tradeoff with walking. Since being off the medicine for one week my walking is terrible and balance worse than when I started. Has anyone else noticed problems when they stopped taking medicine after a 3 month period. I still feel the ampyra did not help but do not understand why I am worse off now than when I started the med.
Sounds like we had the same results. I tried Ampyra for three months, during which time my walking actually seemed to slow a bit. I stopped using it when I got a nasty UTI, which gave me symptoms similar to an MS exacerbation. It took two rounds of antibiotics to finally get rid of the UTI. After laying off Ampyra for a month, I tried it again (ever hopeful), and soon after taking the first pill I got a headache (which is rare), felt woozy, and had body aches the rest of the day. I'm through with the stuff. It didn't work for me. My walking is worse now than before I started taking the drug.
