I have Spasticity, big time, on my right side - shoulder, arm and leg. It is also on my left side however, not as bad. I took Ampyra for one year. I experienced no side effects. But I did not experienced any improvement in my mobility so I discontinue. I will tell you that it would be worth trying.
