Does Copaxone make you feel angry?

Hi everyone! Passed my 300th Copaxone injection last month, and I was just wondering if any of you who are on it have had troubles with being over-anxious, angry and overall emotional unstable? This is a real puzzle to me, as I'm going out and about with my day as planned, and at certain (unplanned) moments, I snap, without being able to fully control my reaction. And when it goes away, I'm back to normal. But with some after-effects if it went really bad. So, what are your thoughts on this? Thank you for all your help and support! With love, as always wishing you a pain-free wonderful day, Denisa

Hi @denisa , you could try looking up the terms "emotional lability" and "PseudoBulbar Affect". They are symptoms of MS.

Thank you @Stumbler! I read the descriptions with even more attention that before, and I didn't find me in them. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my message (I saw that now). The anger or anxiety build up because of a certain annoying thing and I feel the need to vent. I try to control it rationally, but there are times when my emotions are far more powerful than any logic. It tends to happen mostly around that time of the month and peaks in its middle, so I blame it a lot on hormonal feat. MS frustration issues. I noticed that it clears away afterwards. But then there's the after-injection moments when I get anxious yet again. This is so confusing! I needed to get my head around this issue, so I immediately thought "Shift!". Hope I'll get to the bottom of this soon... :))
