I'm looking for others who were started off on 40mg dose of Copaxone. I'm looking for everyone's experience with starting off on 40mg? Not changing doses only starting right on 40mg please. I'm being started on 40mg & this is my first time with Copaxone. Thank you everyone for answering all my questions in advance. Lots of hugs & love❤️ Would love to hear everyone's first time experience being given 40mg right off the bat lol.

Pennie, I have been doing the 40mg injections for two years. Yes, often I have injection site reactions that are a pain in the fanny but being able to take the weekends off is well worth it. None of the treatment options are without some misery. My advice is to hang in there, know there will be bumps/some soreness/itching and maybe another side effect or two. None of the issues should be severe enough to make you switch melds. Blessings to you.

Girrrrl!! I started on Copaxone. I had a horrible experience. It felt like someone was in my head trying to push my eyes out😢Talk about injection pain, I was bent over after every time I took it. Well, enough about me. I hope it does well for you

Child, when I was on Copaxone, I had terrible site pain. It also caused a lot of pressure behind my eyes like there was a little person in there pushing my eyes out. I hope it doesn’t treat you the same way.

I wish I could say yes to this! You will start to notice it less.
