I was taking Ampyra twice a day for about six weeks. I missed one dose and was amazed at how stiff, leg spasms and difficulty with fine muscle movements for balance, became. (Worse than before taking). Then I got on my schedule again. I now changed insurances and must wait for their pre-approval and have one pill left. This is how dependence on drugs occurs so
I will be paying attention to see if things get much worse and if that lasts.

Yesterday am I took a pill and havent since and am very uncomfortable with how my body feels right now.. It is tight and weak and slightly spastic in my legs.. very disturbing to think this may not wear off.. I am not sure what to do. Do I stay off for a bit and see how my body responds? Is it simply going through a 'withdrawl' of sorts?
Anyway, thought I would share this..
