Conroe, TX

I was diagnosed with MS in October of 2023 and to this day I’ve yet to be given any type of drug that helps me, I only know about adderall working because I bought one off the street and sure enough it made me feel normal again

Have you heard of or tried LDN? Its a compound drug called Low Dose Naltrexone. I've been on it for over 11yrs now.

How can you talk to your doctor about getting prescribed medication for mobility issues in MS?

It's understandable that you're looking for relief from your mobility challenges. The safest approach is to have an honest conversation with your neurologist about what you've experienced and what symptoms you're trying to manage.

While Adderall isn't typically prescribed for mobility issues in MS, there are FDA-approved medications specifically designed to help with walking difficulties. Dalfampridine (Ampyra) is approved to improve walking ability in people with MS by helping nerve signals conduct better through damaged myelin.

Your doctor might also consider other medications depending on what's causing your mobility problems:

* If spasticity (muscle stiffness) is the issue, muscle relaxants like baclofen or tizanidine may help
* If nerve-related symptoms are affecting your walking, medications like gabapentin might be beneficial
* If fatigue is limiting your mobility, wakefulness-promoting drugs like modafinil or certain stimulants might be considered

Some MyMSTeam members have found success with these approaches. One member shared that their neurologist recommended Ampyra for walking and mobility issues related to spasticity.

It's really important to work with your healthcare provider rather than obtaining medications elsewhere, as they can monitor for side effects and interactions with any other treatments you might start. Be open about what you've tried and what helped - your doctor needs this information to find the right solution for you.
