I went off it once and felt much worse
Working / Worked
I have been on it for awhile. The only problem I do have is site reactions. The injection is tolerable. I never feel sick with the injection. This drug is the best for me.

I have injection site reactions that last for about 10-15 minutes, sometimes I bruise (usually on the arms). Seems to be working, I've been feeling pretty good and symptom free for the last couple of weeks.
