I tried the Gilenya and hated the results! Talk with your neuro...and if they doubt your statements....shop for a new one! My neuro told me that I couldn't gain weight on Gilenya, I couldn't have depression, and there was no info on flulike symptoms.

I switched neuros....told him my dilemma...and I am now back on REBIF again and feel wonderful, it turned out that the Gilenya was the cause of a lot of my problems!

Why would you stop? If it is not working or makes you sick then you need to talk to your Dr.
