Experiences with

Copaxone

Hi all, Im out of meds, my dr has switched me off copaxone and i want my old friend. I really could do with help. If anyone has spare please let me know its urgent. Thanks E

Had to switch from Copaxone 40 MG (8 years) to the generic version from Mylan. My neurologist has always helped me stay on Copaxone but recently my insurance said I had to try the generic. I’m not a fan of the new whisperjet autoinjector, so I’m just going to do manual injections from now on.

But the gist of this post is that in Europe they are putting a warning on generic copaxone that it can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction. Something to ask your neurologist about if you are using a generic version of Copaxone.

Is there another to use with Copaxone 40mg? Read about the WhisperJect but not sure it can b used for Copaxone. Anyone know or is using it? Thank you all!

Promise I'm not proud of that 😅).For the MS, I was on copaxone, tried on tysabri (couldn't continue, high JCV titre), so back on copaxone until the 1st of my status epilepticus events, then ocrevus, and I'm now on kesimpta. I don't think the kesimpta is working well for me.

So my next move is Kesimpta or back to Copaxone.... Any info on Kesimpta would be awesome! Missed you guys!, 🤗💕🌠

Lastly, approved Copaxone for a $4000.00 Co -Pay; why because I take the Brand instead of the generic - “ Ancillary differential “ or so they call it! Now, I’m told to have my doctor write a letter stating the generic makes me ill.

Found that Glatopa (a generic of Copaxone) had a copay assistance that I qualified for. It was a maximum of $9,000 annually. That would cover 6 months of the copays. I actually had a 3 month supply of extra med so I figured that I would only need to pay the $1500 3 times.

I take the daily, and going forward the formulary will cover the generic; the 3-times-a-week Copaxone isn't listed as an alternative, so I assume they're dropping that, too. Of course there is NO collusion between the drug manufacturers and the insurance companies! Hmmmm

I haven't been seen by a neurologist for a couple of years after stopping Copaxone. I've enjoyed not being tied to a medication and especially not dealing with insurance and specialty pharmacies (horrors!).

Where does Copaxone come from, who makes it? Think about this. No more nee3 be said. Rest and relax through this and all holidays from now on. Take it very slow. YOU are fighting an incurable unknown illness. YOU may be bulletproof, but we have aa chink in our armor now.

Copaxone Injection 😪. I think when I take my injection it makes me "hyper sensitive" - in other words: I can be "cry baby.". A little sensitive and don't like to feel like I have to explain myself all the time.

Switching from Copaxone 40MG soon, which has been amazing for me, but skin needs a break. Any tips or things to be aware of when taking this? Really scared to make a switch. Side effects seem horrible for all the DMT’s. Trying to pick the one with the least potential issues.

Doctor started me on Rebif but had to switch to Copaxone due to liver enzymes escalating. I have been using Copaxone since 2012 with very little side effects but my Doctor feels my MS might be progressing so she switched me to Abaigio.

I have been on Ocrevus for 6 years, after being on copaxone for 5 years. I use a walker and need to self cath. Two years ago I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis. I’m not sure if this is a side effect from the infusions. I am debating about stopping the Ocrevus.

Does anyone know whether there's another device that could handle Copaxone needles? I am simply not able to mentally face the prospect of sticking myself with a needle daily.

I hope none of the Teva (Copaxone) scientists were murdered this week. An ugly display of our species cruelty., Try not to be too upset. Cry a little, that is okay. Think of yourself. YOUR ms. There is little that we can do about this horror.

Been on Avonex, Rebif, Copaxone, Tecfidera, Vumerity, and Kesimpta. Each drug had its pros and cons, some side effects were more bearable than others. The Kesimpta, which I hoped would work for me, made me very sick and I stopped after six months.

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.

My Neuro is going to put me back on Copaxone... Why, you ask? Cause its all l can take!! Remember the last time l was on Copaxone? I ended up with Black Holes in my brain. Yes, its a thing... He knows this, I know this. He is sending me to Neuropallitive Care, I have my 1st appt in bout 2 wks.
