copaxone interactions

8) To top it off I called my MS neuro today since the last 5 injections of Copaxone have caused 3 inch x 3 inch hematomas. He told me to stop the Copaxone for a month and then restart. If symptoms continue , I'll have to change meds. BP doc and I went through all my meds and the other possibilities are my diuretic (Bumex) or my Trileptal. My pharmacist thought it was the Trileptal. Any one else have any experience similar to this?

It should also be noted that rigid quality control standards are not required for nutraceuticals and substantial variability can occur in both the potency and the purity of these products. That being said, I do not see any specific interactions listed with Lexapro, but Evodia is considered somewhat toxic by some herbalists and some of the ingredients in White Flood have central nervous system side effects as does Lexapro. Please discuss this with your physician before taking this product.

I can't speak to the medication effects as I never tried Copaxone 40. I would ask a pharmacist about possible interactions with NyQuil. Perhaps a short term course of zopiclone (prescribed) would be helpful to you as your body adjusts to your new treatment. If side effects really aren't tolerable, let your neurologist now.

i also take hormones and xanax...i read where alot of my meds have interactions...but pharmisits say its ok.............

Thank you for letting us know about the website, Lulu54! I'm about to go on Copaxone and have had a little voice in the back of my head telling me I should double check to make sure it doesn't conflict with another med I've been taking for years. My neurologist is brilliant and aware of all my meds, but I'm a huge fan of double checking things like this. You are the best!

When my husband was on Copaxone his arm was swelling up with a big knot stayed hot and red for about a week and itched really bad they told him to just keep taking it and it would be okay. I think he is allergic to it so when he was in between neuros he went to his family doctor we told her and he went off the copaxone. So I agree with wiggles94.

t go away after being off the Copaxone we decided the two were unrelated and I started taking Copaxone again, last night was my first injection after the break. My question is - last night I woke up feeling like I had the flu, I was sweating, ached all over and had a massive headache. I know these are side effects of the interferons but has anyone had this while on Copaxone? I had no reaction like this the first few weeks I took Copaxone.

//www.ehealthme.com/ds/copaxone/hallucinations,+mixed "On Aug, 31, 2013: 9,277 people reported to have side effects when taking Copaxone. Among them, 5 people (0.05%) have Hallucinations, Mixed." the most recent was one person in 2011. It would be difficult to prove hallucinations were a side effect of copaxone, based on those very small numbers. There are no withdrawal symptoms from going off copaxopne.

because this study, like many others, was supported by the drug co. that developed, produces, markets and distributes Copaxone. So I guess we take the info with a grain of salt, and hope that the study was designed appropriately and objectively, and that results are reported accurately and ethically. If so, and the encouraging results are repeated in future studies, then it really would be great news for Copaxone users.

I have never heard of this side effect from copaxone and not sure how it could effect your cycle. Anyway, I had a hysterectomy way back when so I couldn't have this symptom regardless. Sorry.

Did they tell you that you had optic neuritis? That was my first flair as far as we know. I've had it 3 or 4 times. I don't remember. I went on prednisone a few times and it worked every times. Lately, for the past few months off and on, I've been having jumpy vision. It gives me pretty bad migraines. I get migraines very easily so I'm on daily meds for that as well. It seems to work well but it doesn't stop the things that trigger my migraines.

Hello, I am sorry that I am saying this, I was pre-diagnosed with ms that was recently confirmed not ms. I am sorry that I had the news that most of you reading this will not hear. However I had accepted the diagnosis and was prepared,to move forward with my newly found life. And as a result almost a year of injection copaxone treatment ms that I don't know what to do with. I hate to throw it away but am not sure if I have another choice. Does anyone know of any other options?

Started my Copaxone on May 24 and it was fine and had no pain to speak of injecting.

Hi Ali. I can tell you my experience with Copaxone. I was just diagnosed in Dec of 07. I haven't been on any other MS med. I was put on Copaxone. In those 3 months I struggled with depression, sleeplessness, gained 10 lbs and had terrible dark circles under my eyes. It completely changed my personality. I took myself off it and finally after 2 weeks am starting to feel like myself again and have dropped the weight and the circles under my eyes are gone.

Copaxone is made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. For more information, visit the Copaxone website, or call Shared Solutions at 1-800-887-8100.

But, I have just recently wondered about a question about weight gain. I am paranoid about gaining weight, and for some reason have not really thought about this issue when discussing the DMD's. I was actually relieved that someone finally is doing something about my situation. Anyways, what my question is ...... Has anyone experienced weigh gain, and if so, how much is expected?

Anyone out here using Copaxone? And if so for how long. I think I am going to try it, and was interested in some first hand information. shots, side effects, if you think it is working, etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am SO glad that you posted this...I have noticed (just started Copaxone about 5-6 weeks ago) that I do have changes in my tastes. In fact, not long after I give myself an injection, I notice a strange taste in my mouth, almost like thiere is increased saliva production. This is probably TOTALLY my imagination... Yes, there are injection site reactions. I was getting BIG welts when I injectied with the auto-injector. I decided to try an experiment and go back to self-injecting.

I was reading the question that were posted about copaxone and I am currently on my husband insurance and my copay is $40.00 a month but they pay $5.00 and I only pay $35.00 a month. Well my situation is changing and I really need to find a way to pay for this medicine. I check with my insurance on my job and it will not cover this medicine. I need help. I read this other lady post and she said they told her she didnt qualify, that is what I am afraid of.

Hi guys, this is a question for us users of Copaxone. I am wondering if anyone knows the reason we have to pinch up our skin before doing a manual injection? I am asking because some of my sites are easy to do that, but some are not. I have just been injecting , like anyother needle, and my reactions are minimal. Am I doing something wrong? With the Autoject, the reaction sites were just to sore, and lumpy, and I'm trying it this way..... \\\\\\\\So, what do ya think??? Thxs...
