The drug I'm on is Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker.
The thought that I could have MG and it being onset by this medication is obviously just a theory at this point without confirmation by my neurologist. However, the symptoms and chain of events, based on our research, seem to be in line. Then again, that's also why I'm here to get the opinion of people who may have experience, as well!

I've know drugs can make the symptoms worse or cause someone in remission to have symptoms. Its one of the issues I'm facing in trying to treat MG and Stiff Persons at the same time. As far as drugs causing the condition, I don't know if that's likely. Its probable that the list of drugs your sister found are the ones we aren't supposed to take as they worsen our symptoms.
