@I have been on Rituximab for 4 years but my provider is switching me to Ocrevus. Has anyone here taken both medications and if so will the side effects be similar? It usually takes me 3-5 days to start feeling "normal" again after my Rituximab infusion and I can feel it wearing off about a month before I have the next one. on Shift.ms

Never taken rit but ocrevus has been good for me. No side effects and last mri showed no new holes. The crap gap is still the same round the last month before next infusion can tell it’s wearing off like you was talking about with the rit.
