Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 My husband takes 4ap. He has been taking for a couple years now. It helps him move better and he is not so fatigued with it in his system. He is wheelchair bound. It's a positive for him and there is nothing else that helps him at this time ~ Diane  Subject: Aminopyridine To: mscured Date: Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 1:57 PM  Has anyone had any experience or have anything to report on Aminopyridine?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yeah. Had 4A-P compounded at Skip's. It was the fast release (not the slow release Ampyra that Big Pharma has out now). Got up to 15mg per day, but got so dizzy that I was afraid to try going down the stairs to work. After a few weeks, I stopped taking it. Did feel some nerve difference in the legs, but had to give it up. Afterwards I was sort of glad to not have to worry about the seizures that some MS people have while on it. > > Has anyone had any experience or have anything to report on Aminopyridine? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 My husband got up to 15 also, was short of breath, so we went back down to 12.5 3x/day, and has no problem and it does help him move better.~Diane Subject: Re: Aminopyridine To: mscured Date: Thursday, March 1, 2012, 9:45 AM Â Yeah.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I was on 4AP for several years. I had instant compounded from Skip's in 5mg for an instant pick-me-up to jumpstart my mornings. Then I had a slow release in 10mg compounded at Stark's. Their slow release seemed the closest to the new expensive Ampyra (Fampyra). I took 10mgSR twice a day. I stopped after being treated for ccsvi. Even though I didn''t have dramatic results, I no longer needed the 4AP to function. > > > > Has anyone had any experience or have anything to report on Aminopyridine? > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks for the information! I am extremely drug sensitive but it may be worth a try. > > > > Has anyone had any experience or have anything to report on Aminopyridine? > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
