  • Effectiveness
    Slight (for depressed mood)
  • Side effects
    Mild (injection site irritation)
  • Adherence
    Always
  • Burden
    A little hard to take
Dosage: 60 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: I use an ice pack ( the cold pack that comes with my Copaxone) before I inject and after till most of the irritation subsides. This irritation is tolerable because of the benefits of Copaxone. Since starting this drug I have gained alot of my mobility back, not so foggy in my brain, and not dropping things as much. Pain level has not changed but I'm waiting for a miracle.
Cost: < $25 monthly
Side effects: injection site irritation

Advice & Tips: it was great in helping reduce my pain levels. it was only when my insurance stopped coverage, that i had to switch to a different combo, discovering that it wasnt helping my depression/mood levels as much as i needed. so if you have major depression and fibro, i would suggest speaking with your dr about additional meds if your depression is still a struggle, but pain levels are much better.
