After 5 months of taking Nudexta my ability to swallow has hardly declined at all. My speech, however, has continued to decline and is now all but gone.

Nudexta has seemed to almost completely 'cure' my emotional lability issues. My swallowing improvements remain so far.

Advice & Tips
I am feeling pretty good about Nudexta. Today is the second day is a row that the paper towel I use when I drink my morning coffee was relatively 'dry'. Usually it is sopping wet with coffee by the time I finish the cup, mostly because I gag a few times and lose a whole mouthful of coffee. Today I drank it without gaging once. It seemed as thought it took me about half the time to drink it also but I have not been timing myself.
I participated in a clinical drug trial at the ALS clinic at UCSF. The purpose of the study was to help with uncontrollable laughter and crying. Of the 3 blind trial dosages available (Full strength, half strength, and placebo), I conjectured that I received the half strength pill. With the trial over now, I have chosen to continue with the study on an open label basis, which guarantees that I receive the full strength dose. My laughing/crying symptoms have markedly decreased in the second phase (with the real drug).
