Members shared their personal experiences with Ampyra for walking and balance difficulties, with most reporting positive results and manageable side effects. Several members noted benefits like improved balance and stamina, and tips like taking only one pill daily to reduce side effects, while one member did experience a seizure and is now on seizure medication. A recurring theme was the importance of monitoring kidney function through regular blood tests, and many pointed to a helpful Facebook group for additional support.

It must be about 3 years. In France, the trade name is Fampyra, but it's exactly the same as Ampyra. The improvement in balance is about 20%.

I’ve taken it for about 10 years. Just make sure kidney function is okay.
There is an ampyra Dalfampridine site on Facebook that is very helpful
