The disclosure provides novel methods of treating neuromuscular or neurologic disease, for example, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), through reducing GABAergic and Glycinergic inhibitory neurotransmitter activity overstimulation. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more compounds capable of reducing Glycinergic activity and/or one or more compounds capable of reducing GABAergic activity are also provided. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising Penicillin G and, optionally, glucocorticoid are especially useful in the present invention. Methods for treating one or more symptoms caused by inhibitory neurotransmitter overstimulation (e.g., muscle wasting, loss of muscle function, loss of muscle coordination, respiratory depression, dysphagia, dysarthria, eye movement difficulties, oculomotor gaze palsy, supranuclear gaze palsy, bladder dysfunction and gastrointestinal dysfunction) in an individual afflicted with ALS or an ALS- like disorder are also provided.
