I tried searching the forum, but that did not work out. Has anyone experienced seizures from taking ampyra? That scares the wits out of me. If you have please reply.

I had a focal seizure after using Ampyra for about 1.5 years. I had to stop using the drug because of this. I miss the benefit very much. The seizure was probably a result of intermittent poor kidney function. I've been off the drug for about 6 months now. My driving license was suspended for a few months because of this, which was a pain.

Thanks Questor. The seizures scare me the most. I still have not started the 60 day trial I have.

I have been using aminopyridine (4) for almost 6 years. I think its the same thing. like the benefits it provides. I have never had a seizure. Kidney function tested yearly so far no issues.
