Went off copaxone for pregnancy, and have been back on since 3/09. Almost immediately after getting back on, developed notable anxiety. I swear it's associated with the Copaxone. I've never had problems with anxiety before. Scared of side effects from other drugs, aah!! don't know what to do =( went out of town and forgot copaxone for one day - best day I've had in a while! felt "normal" without anxious feeling. I hate taking stupid drugs!

I have some anxiety too, and not sure if it is increased stress at work or adjusting to diagnosis (end of march) and remembering the daily injections. Someone once said to me once to think of the copaxone as a white horse trying to chase away the disease. Believe it or not visualizing that occasionally helps :)

I was diagnosed with MS several months ago and I decided not to take copaxone until I get a second opinion ....because I don't want further complications on top of what I already have and I hate Shots of any kind so if they don't come out with a pill then I will try one shot a week with something else.....And I read that copaxone is a new drug so I won't be anyones guine pig!!!Thank You...
