Hi all, I started Tecfidera several weeks ago I am now on full dose. Since a couple of days my heart rate is really high. Went to the GP and he gave me some beta blockers to decrease the heart rate , my GP suspects that the stress is the cause. Is there anyone who experienced this with Tecfidera?

I'm on day 17 of half-dose Tecfidera (after quitting a unhappy relationship with Plegridy). Half an hour after the evening dose, I get a sharp, intense headache on one side of my head.

Hi all, so I’m a bit frustrated with my neurologist, it’s 2 weeks now that I’m thanking 1 pill of tecfidera per day while I’m eating dinner.
