I came off of Copaxone. I was a good med in that you never need a blood test ever. It was just my body had so many marks. I was left with injection site marks all over my body, permanent marks. I had so much muscle atrophy, it was ridiculous.I thought what is this medication doing to my main muscle, my heart muscle. So I decided to come off and now I’m on Dimethyl Firimate (generic for Tecfideria). 8 months so far. I haven’t had any problems so far. A green capsule twice a day. I have my alarm on my iPad set for twice a day at 10.

Hello I was on copoxone first took that for 7 years then Rebif I was soooo scared to change!!! It was good it didn't hurt my skin at all. I was on Rebif for only a year! My Nero wanted me to switch to tysebri! I went and had a second opinion with Nero that just specializes with MS. They suggested tecfederia. That the chances are lower about the PML!! So I switched ! The stomach pains cramps was light compared to the GI issues all I can say is eat a good meal with the medicine that just lasted a week on the full dose!! Everything good now a month on tecfederia!! I'm pretty happy it's nice not to give yourself a needle. Just take a pill morning and night!!

I wasn't moved I was on it for a year and just decided to have a detox and go med free for a while

I've been on Copaxone for 6 years. I made it almost 6 years with being relapse free. Yes, it sucks having to inject medicine, but I love the years of research it has backing it up. It doesn't show a ton of long term effects, and the new drugs in my opinion don't have enough research to show any long term effects. I'd love to take pills instead of shots, but I don't really want to change unless relapses become a common thing. Good luck!

I do not do the MS Drugs however You have to make Your own Choice about which Treatment You choose, and not worry about what the MS Nurse thinks.
