Considering Aubagio to treat my RRMS, worried about side effects. Need to decide soon.
~ Please help me out with your experiences. Thank you.
Aubagio is one a day I personally have had no serious side effects. I have felt better physically and mentally. Taking shots for me was a pain and made me stress out every week I was having to inject myself. Traveling with pills is much easier than travelling with needles. ThanKS to my neurologist for going over all medicine options and related side effects. Aubagio was a good fit for my lifestyle and current condition.
I have been on Aubagio for 7 months. Same as Wayne, did the blood work once a month for 6 months. Now once every 3 months. Only side effect for me was diarrhea sometimes.
I have been on Aubagio for 2 months. I have not noticed any difference with my symptoms. Mater of fact , I have that awful " pins and needles " feeling in my feet worse than before I started. My blood pressure is higher too. I definitely don't like that. I left a message with my neurologist 's office that I am thinking about not taking it anymore. So far, I have not gotten a response. It's been over a week too ! I'm kind of upset that a med that is supposed to help you with a serious illness just ends up giving you so many other problems.
I was worried to start it, but I have been on it for 5 months now and it seems to be working great! I had noticed more hair loss, but that seems to have slowed way down.
Have taken Aubagio for 2 + yrs. Lost a lot of hair, but after 6 mo. it grew back just as my Neuro predicted. Latest MRI shows no active leisons, the big "A" must be working. .Best of luck.
