Experiences with

Aubagio

I'm still waiting for my aubagio even though I haven't called the specialty pharmacy back. I'm tired and my legs feel weak all the time. I know I need to get right on it! I will! I need someone to help me with appointments and such. What can I do? Thanks for listening! ❤️🙏🏾🥰😮‍💨

Taking Aubagio was a great improvement over Avonex for me as I had pretty bad weekly flu-like symptoms. As of the past July, my insurance removed me from being able to access Aubagio and I was placed on the generic for Aubagio which is teriflunomide.

It seems my morning coffee combined with my Aubagio had me running for the bathroom, but I seemed to not make it in time. Sorry, it's gross, but I just wanted to post here with the hopes that others can give me their feedback. Is it just me or has it happened with your bowels too?

I’ve been on Aubagio/generic Aubagio for 10 months. I just had bloodwork done and my WBC count is 2.42 (low end of normal is 4.3). This is even lower than it was in October.

🤞 To any of you who have skipped your dosage of Aubagio, have you noticed anything? If you had to skip for nearly one week, did you have increased side-effects, almost like when you first started it? Thanks, in advance, for your input! Happy Holidays! 😇🙏🙂🎄🎅🎉👍

I'm back on my old drug Avonex, after a huge flop with Aubagio developing Neuropathy. I had five new brain lesions not taking anything so I wanted to go back to Avonex instead of trying Mavenclad and I'm glad I spoke my mind to go back onto it. All's well so far!

At age 55, I started on Aubagio, a daily pill, after 25 years of intra-muscular injections with Avonex. I intend to stay on a DMT for life as MS is a like a tattoo; it's always with you. Progressive diseases progress despite my best efforts.

After a very had time with Aubagio my Doctor is recommend these drugs. I am a little nervous about an infusion that last 6 months because if I have a reaction, it will be in my system a long time. I have asthesma, thalesemia and have had breast cancer in the past so my options are limited.

I hope this helps.

A friend of mine asked if it could be the Aubagio - and sure enough it looks like that is a reported side effect in some people. Looking for anecdotal stories before I call my neuro. Thanks!

Hi All, My latest Aubagio rx was refilled, and it's with the GENERIC version. Has anyone tried (or had their insurance) refill their standard Aubagio with the new generic version? If so, have you noticed any difference? Any changes in your side effects, etc.?

Do you have any tips to share when coping with MS & Aubagio therapy. Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂🙏👍

Those on higher efficacy MS drugs (Ocrevus & Fingomolid) seem to have worse RLS than those on the older, less effective MS drugs(Interferons, Aubagio) which is the opposite of what I would expect.

I love the simplicity of Aubagio yet the side effects have really been awful. The GI Issues and horrible diarrhea, etc. Has anyone stopped Aubagio at age 65. My former neurologist said that MS tx stop at age 65? I will be age 65 in nine short years, can I give it up then?

Hi All, As you may recall, I started on the full dosage of Aubagio last May 1, 2022. As the most efficacious dosage is 14 mg, I escalated to the full strength after starting on the 7 mg dose for a few weeks (working with my neurologist's CRN).

Horrible bed side manner and immediately started the "ball rolling" for Aubagio DMT! I take Copaxone because for me with other health issues it's the best option. After very careful thought and pray 🙏 I decided to stick and stay with my current Neuro.

A year ago, my neurologist wanted me to try Aubagio, but after three months I developed Neuropathy and went off of Aubagio. My neurologist wanted me to try Mavenclad but I didn't feel brave enough and suggested going back on Avonex.

I don’t think Aubagio is controlling my symptoms anymore and was thinking Ocrevus, but after reading experiences with hair loss I’m not sure.

For those on Aubagio. My neurologist said that next year a generic version of Aubagio is coming out. They said that means that the insurance probably won't want to pay for name brand anymore.

BTW, I switched from Avonex (1997-2022) to Aubagio in mid-April 2022. I finally went up to the full 14 mg dose in early June. So, this is the long way of my asking my fellow MSers, for those of you who are on Aubagio, did you have to change anything to get your Covid boosters?
