Starting meds this week
So this week I am starting on Mylan’s Glatiramer Acetate Injection 40 mg/mL, which is generic for
copaxone
. Is anyone else taking this? What was it like in the beginning and how are you tolerating it? This is my first treatment as I was only diagnosed March of this year.

Needing to decide between copaxone and tecfidera
I have to decide between
copaxone
and tecfidera. I’m Jc positive at 3.19. Does anyone know if this is too high and puts me at worse risk for PML if I go on tecfidera? Does anyone have experience being JC positive and on tecfidera? Thank you!

So frustrated over DMT & symptoms
I was in the weening off Tysibri stage, only using
Copaxone
-3x's a week & getting 3 Solumedrol infusions every 4 wks. This for me was a disaster because I work full time & had to call off more than I was able to work.

Introducing myself
I was taking
Copaxone
but I had bad side effects from it. I don't rather I was giving myself the injections the wrong way or what but it had me feeling really bad. I read some post that others experienced the same thing. So, I am supposed to start a new drug called Tecfidera.

Do you have a hard time with consistency? Is anyone on Ocervcus can tell me about their story?
Been on
Copaxone
first then on Tecfideria its hard for me to be consistent with taking my medicine💉 💊 so my doctor recommended me to change to Ocervcus since its more consistent then rembering to take my pill or shot. It was hard for me to take it the same time everyday.

Getting back motivation!?
Will this happen once I start
copaxone
? Are there other ways to do this. My neurologist prescribed me Effexor 37.5mg which I haven’t started yet because I hate drugs that mess with your mind and feelings.

New to this
In roughly 2 weeks I’ll be started on
copaxone
injection. I always feel like crap. I’m 37 and having a hard time dealing with all this. Hope to learn a lot here

New to HealthUnlocked
I was on
Copaxone
, then Tecfidera, and now Ocrevus. I am always looking for an eventual cure to MS, so staying as healthy as possible is key. Approaches to staying healthy, eating well, exercising, and being positive is a good thing.

This is my first post
I started on
Copaxone
and have used it ever since. I have had almost all the symptoms of MS at one time or another, but fortunately I have not had an exasperation in several years now.

The Impact of Generics on MS Treatment
We have already seen this happen with
Copaxone
, which is manufactured by Teva. There are currently multiple generic versions of the Glatiramer Acetate injection available, and insurers have made many patients switch off
Copaxone
on onto generics.

MS and FND?
So I got diagnosed and put on
copaxone
. I went and saw my Neuro on Tuesday, and she said I also have FND, or Conversion Disorder rather. But I am confused - can I have both? I mean, she's not taking my MS diagnosis away, she just says my brain scans look too good for the symptoms I am showing.

Copaxone 40 mg to generic Glatopa 50 mg? How did the transition work for you?
My insurance is wanting me to switch from
Copaxone
40mg 3x/wk to the generic version, Glatopa 3x/wk. If you've been made to switch, how did it go? Side effects? Do you feel that the Glatopa is maintaining your health? Any new symptoms or worsening of existing symptoms?

Question about tx for SPMS
Previously, I had taken
Copaxone
from the time I was dx in 5/2001. During these 5 years, the only thing I've taken was during a double-blind MS med trail...& I don't know if I was taking THE drug or placebo. I had no adverse side-effects or reactions to whatever it was.

Glatopa: FDA Approves Three-Times Weekly Dose
Copaxone
was initially approved in 1996 as a daily 20-mg injection. A 40-mg dose of
Copaxone
injected three-times weekly was approved by the FDA in 2014. In 2015, Glatopa was approved as the first generic version of
Copaxone
, given at the original 20-mg daily dose.

New medication
Saw my neurologist yesterday, and he said that I could switch from
Copaxone
to Aubagio if I desired. For those who are or have taken the pill,what has been your experience and what about side effects? Thank you 😊 for each of you who write on this blog. It is most helpful.

I'm New Here
I started out on
Copaxone
, but about 9 months ago , I had to change to Tecfidera because the
Copaxone
wasn't helping me. After getting through the first 3 months of the Tecfidera I started doing better. I am 51 .

Newly Diagnosed
I received 5 day treatment of 1000mg of IV Solu Medrol & prescribed
Copaxone
40mg. Im currently still working full time; only took 3 wks off when dx & returned just this past wk. I’m still learning how to manage & use my energy appropriately which made this past week very difficult.
