Isn't that the truth. I had several questions about Ampyra after my Neuro suggested I start taking it to help my walking. Wanna know how he answered one of the questions? He told me to "ask the pharmacist". I didn't say it but I thought to myself "the pharmacist knows more than you and doesn't charge me $200 for a fifteen minute appointment". I'm thinking I'm going to go to my pharmacist for my next appointment.
