Tecfidera reviews wanted! Anyone else on this?
Just wondering if anyone else out there has made the switch to Tecfidera? I used to be on Copaxone but hated the needles so have switched to the pills! They're not going so well at the moment! I'm on week 3 and have terrible cramping in my stomach, nausea, headaches, bloating, indigestion and reflux! Going to my GP today to get something for all of that! Hope it settles down soon or it will be back to Copaxone for me! I'm feeling awful all day and night!
This website details the side effects of Tecfidera and seems to suggest they should go away fairly quickly:- http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-163868-Tecfidera+Oral.aspx?drugid=163868&drugname=Tecfidera+Oral
I have not started Tecfidera yet as it is not available yet in Ireland but I intend to switch to it as soon as it is released here. From what my Neuro has told me, and as stumbler has said above, apparently it settles down after a short time. Your system just needs some time to adjust to the new medicine and once it does your side-effects should go away :) I would love to hear about your experience with the drug as I am due to have the switch over mid-late 2014. I am planning on doing a masters in Septmeber but am not sure whether to hold off a year or not incase it is bad timing with starting a new drug. I would really appreciate if you could keep me posted! It all sounds good in theory, but I would like to have an opinion that is based on first hand knowledge and not just a bunch of statistics. Happy Christmas!! :)
