I have been on it for about 20 years. No side effects ever. Next time I see my doctor I am going to tell her I want to stop. Tired of injecting.
It’s suppose to be one of the safest therapy.
Wish you well

I was using it for about 2 years. I don’t think I had any any real side effects. It just didn’t do anything for me, so I was taken off it.
Hope it helps you Love Xx

I was on Copaxone for 11 years..only side effect was at the injection site and a bit of itching afterwards.

The good thing about Copaxone is it is one of the safest, oldest, well-studied meds with least side effects. I think the most frequent side effects are just injection itching or burning. It can cause Immediate Post Injection Reaction, where you almost have a panic attack after injecting, but Ive never experienced it. Unfortunately, because it is an older med, it is one of the least effective meds.
