Copaxone and "Panic attacks"??

I have been on Copaxone for around twelve months and have whinged on here before about the huge red, itchy lumps and bruises all over my body, i thought these were the worst of it... But the other night after doing my injection i had one of those horrible panic attacks (that really and truly does feel like a heart attack!!!) that you can sometimes get. It lasted around five to ten minutes. It was without a doubt the scariest thing to happen to me in my life. Im just wondering if anyone else has experienced these and what are the chances of it happening again??

I was on Copaxone for about 3 years and I experienced the same. I think if you are in a highly stressful situation it brings these on...or atleast that was the case for me. I am on Rebif now. Copaxone also gave me headaches and the "indentions" in my stomach were getting really bad. xxx

I experienced the same thing. I know of a couple other Copaxone users that had it happen also. It's some sort of reaction...many times it occurs after a patient has been on it for some time.I am now on Gilenya.
