Hi MS Team,

I am switching from Copaxone daily injections (20mg) to Copaxone 3x a week (40mg) injections. Has anyone ever done this before? What symptoms or advice can you give me? I am kinda nervous because I used this medicine for 8 years and now I am switching to 3x a week. Did your MS symptoms and lesions improve or get worse with the switch?

Best Wishes,
Faith

I started on 3 a week, and am about to try switching to Ocrevus because I have had 4 relapses since May...
I love how safe the med is but it's effectiveness is meh. I think the 3/week version has treated me ok. Mild itching for a couple days at each injection site but no other problems caused by the med. It had to be easier than the daily injection, I would guess.

I’ve done it both ways but I had to change after 4 years because it stopped working for me and I had a terrible relapse.
