Tecfidera

Just wondering if anyone else can relate. Been on Tecfidera since 2020 with good effect. My white cells have steadily been dropping though, now at 0.5 so they have cut me down to 1 tablet a day instead of 2. Just a bit worried about the effectiveness if only taking half a dose. Thanks if anyone has ...

I have taking Tecfidera for a while now and I was wondering does anyone else get a really dry mouth from it? I do and I find it uncomfortable especially in work

Tecfidera

I’ve recently started on Tecfidera after coming off rebif and previously betaferon. Any tips on how to deal with the side effects? I’d like some positive feedback please.

Tecfidera

I’ve been using Tecfidera for one week and I feel super tired and fatigue, I wonder if its because of the medication. Is anyone else having the same side effects?

Tecfidera

I started Tecfidera last week. First week was 120mg. This week I started the higher dose. It's so hard to not know what to expect. I'm not having flushed side effects, but I'm not feeling great. I don't know what is anxiety, what is MS, what is medication side effects. This is hard...............

Tecfidera

Hello $Thedonasara, I have been on this medication for 6 years. Yes, I feel fatigue and I can fall asleep at any time of day, when I'm at home. This disrupts my night time sleep routine, but I just work out a schedule. Apart from that, I do not experience other side effects.
