Hi Eddie,
There are many people on the older version 4-AP immediate release. The new one, Ampryra SR, was to be available on March 12.

You have to have forms filled out, your Neurologist must fax all the paperwork to Acorda, who will give you a case manager, case number, etc..

Then they go on from there. I heard the co-pay can be $300.00 a month if you don't get assistance for not being able to pay that amount.

I am not sure how long it takes with private ins. They did not expect to have so many people waiting for this drug to come out. I assume they will make a fortune in a few years if this drug helps the MS population.

If you get this drug, before it is delivered or picked up, be sure to ask what the co-pay will be. Just information I heard from others who have sent in their prescription to be filled.

One person who did start it, said he got insomnia from it, but that is just hearsay, IMO.
