ARGGGGhhhhhhhh but it can help so much with symptoms. A few months ago when I started 4-AP, someone said they heard that it wasn't good for remylination but did not have a link. Thanks raven.raven wrote:If the 4-AP you are referring to is 4-aminopyridine then I would be cautious. 4-AP is a broad spectrum potassium antagonist which appears to have detrimental effects upon oligodendrocytes and remyelination.....<reference provided>
I have been thinking about it, and I have to say I don't regret using it, as it helped me get through the worst of my disability; even though it may of slowed my improvement. I have been slowly using less (sometimes on purpose and sometimes because i forget the next dose because I don't "need" it). I will now consciously try to use as little as possible.
