I've been taking Ampyra for MS for a year and have experienced insomnia. What has really helped me is to take Ampyra at 3 am and 3 pm and then have two cups of chamomile tea and warm milk with sugar a couple of hours before bed. That and not exercising after 4. I hope that helps somebody.

I sure hope so... I take mine 7am and 7pm. u might want to do 6am and 6pm. When I was started with amitriptyline for headaches, sleep is not an issue at all. Maybe too much at times.
take care....

I haven't taken it myself, so I can't speak form personal experience, however, in theory the side effects of prescription medications should reach their peak at around 4 to 6 weeks of use, when the medications reaches its full effectiveness in the body. After that they should start to taper off in severity, as your body gets used to the medication.

How long have you been taking it? Have you talked to your doctor about it?
