Starting Tecfidera

Hi . First time posting here. Just looking for an experience with starting Tecfidera. This will be my first MS treatment. The neuro presribed 240 mg of Tecfidera strating off. Ive seen online that normally people start on 120 for a week or so and then go up to 240mg. Any anybody had any experience with starting on 240. Dont want to start off badly if you know what i mean. Thanks.

@petedub , you can find all the previous posts of user's experiences by selecting the "Tecfidera" link that has been added automatically to the the bottom of your post above. 240mg is the long term maintenance dose, so you wouldn't increase that. Perhaps your neuro meant you're starting off on Tecfidera 240mg and if that doesn't work, you can move to another treatment?

I started on 120 and for the first two weeks then went up to full dose. It gets you used to any side effects that will hopefully wear off!
