Does anyone take Fampridine

Hi, I had a letter today asking if I wanted to take Fampridine for a month. Just wondering if anyone else is on this, and if they have suffered any side effects. Thanks Mel

Hi Mel.

There’s been at least two threads on these forums about this medication - and many people have taken/are taking it

Would therefore suggest that you search the forums for this term (‘Fampridine’ or maybe ‘Fampyra’) to see what has been discussed/experienced up to now.

Good luck!

Been on Fampridine ( Fampyra) for six months. I know neuros judge efficacy on walking speed, but it helps many other problems as well. Bladder, fatigue , balance etc all improved. Slight nausea for a few days at the beginning but no other side effects. Doesn’t work for everybody, but try it ! John

These are a couple of old threads, but sure there must be others.
