Satish,

I don't know the answer to your question. I don't know of anybody who has experience with interactions between 4-AP and the drugs that you mention. What level is your injury?

Why are you taking Proviron? This is an anabolic steroid with apparent anti-estrogen activities.

Likewise, why are you taking Yohimbine? As you may know, this is an alpha-2 receptor antagonist which is sometimes taken to improve erections but has many side-effects.

I assume that you are taking urecholine for bladder spasticity.

In theory, 4-aminopyridine may have some interactions with Yohimbine and urecholine. You need to be careful, if you are taking 4-AP, to make sure that you ramp up your dose of 4-AP over several weeks.

Wise.

SATISH- I AM ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ME AND MY OPERATION W/ DR. KAO AND THE MEDS. THAT I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED. IT IS TRUE THAT I HAVE ALL THOSE MEDS. PRESCRIBED BY DR. KAO (+ A FEW OTHERS)...BUT LET ME SAY THAT I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE YOHIMBINE AT ALL NOR HAVE I TAKEN THE VIAGRA THAT WAS PRESCRIBED. I WAS ASSURED THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY INTERACTIONS WITH ANY OF THE MEDS (THIS WAS ASSURED BY KAO AS WELL AS COLLEGE PHARM.-WHERE I GET MY 4-AP). LET ME ALSO SAY THAT DR. KAO DOES NOT PRESCRIBE 4-AP TO ALL HIS PATIENTS...MOST OF HIS PATIENTS THAT ARE TAKING IT ASK HIM FOR IT...AND WHEN I ASKED FOR IT, HE ASKED ME WHAT I KNEW ABOUT IT AND WHY I WAS INTERESTED IN TAKING IT. DR. KAO DID NOT WRITE A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE 4-AP, HE SAID THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO FOR THIS PARTICULAR MED.(NOT SURE WHY), BUT HE DID GIVE ME THE PHONE NUMBER OF A PHARMACY THAT COULD PROVIDE/PRESCRIBE IT FOR ME. ALSO, I AM PRETTY SURE THAT DR. KAO DID NOT TALK/OFFER/RECOMMEND 4-AP TO HIS PATIENTS BEFORE I BROUGHT IT UP AT MY HOME WITH HIM (BEFORE THE OPERATION)...AS HE MADE COMMENTS THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS "QUITE INTERESTING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THIS ALONG WITH HIS PROCEDURES"...HE SAID "THIS MAY BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT 4-AP MAY ADD TO RECOVERY/BENNEFITS" (OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE WORDS)...SO I JUST ASSUME HE HAD NOT OFFERED/SUGGESTED 4-AP BEFORE. THE REASON THAT I AM NOT TAKING THE YOHIMBINE OR VIAGRA IS BECAUSE I HAVE NOT NEEDED IT...I HAVE BEEN ABLE (SINCE THE OPERATION-BUT NOT BEFORE) TO ACHIEVE AN ERECTION AND MAINTAIN IT, AS WELL AS BEEN ABLE TO EJACULATE WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM MEDS.

I have been waiting for Satish to become registered. He is. So, I am going to move this topic to the Cure Forum where it is more appropriate and close this topic to further posting.
