I am really in a dilema with my DMD and I want to know if anybody has stopped taking Copaxone and after a couple of months, started back up with it. If so, did you have initial issues that went away or when you restarted, you didn't have major site issues, etc...........

I also need to know if I can take Copaxone with LDN..............

I have had a TON of depression issues with Copaxone and am trying to figure out what to do and just wanted to know experiences for the very knowledgable group.

Please let me know!!

Thanks and Take care....

" wish I could help you on this one, have taken Betaserone and Avonex, my Doc tried to get me started on Copaxone, wouldnt shell out the $$, now is trying to get me to start Rebif, once again dragging my feet, I think I am really starting to piss my nuero off, guess I am not a gambler, for that kind of $$ I want some guarantees and since I cant get one, I will just hang with my friend LDN, week 6 and still living, some prozac and some LDN... HA! not feeling to bad for a dude with MS!!!!!

" Sorry....been on Copaxone for 6 years. No major side effects here.

I did have serious injection site infections and flu like symptoms when I was on Betaseron.

I do know there are people who take copaxone and ldn on DS, hopefully they will comment.

best wishes and a hug,
Sharon "

" I started taking LDN a month ago. I was also taking Copaxone until the monthly shots ended and I needed a refill. Because I started walking better on LDN, I stopped taking Copaxone because I have been on it for 4 years and my MS was progressing slowing anyway. So, I told my neuro that I stopped and he said that it was fine. I am just tired of taking a shot every single night without knowing if it is helping me or not. "
