    Generic for Neudexta?

    I ran across an article recently that said Neudexta may improve swallowing, excess salivation, and even speech. Has anyone taken Neudexta and experienced improvement in speech? I did a search and found one post that mentioned alleviation of drooling and improved swallowing but did not...

    My Mom's Diagnosis- Sporadic Bulbar Onset ALS

    It was sometime last spring when my Mom's voice started sounding hoarse. She discounted it as being sick since she typically loses her voice once a year for a couple weeks when she gets a cold. In June, my best friend got married and she couldn't stop crying. She said she was just tired ,but...
