I have just taken a 10-day break from my copaxone. Before I start again, I am wondering if there are any cautions I should be aware of. It looks like the research shows you can start again with no problems, but I do not know for sure and don't want to experience the hyper feeling if that is more likely. Any info please?

Thanks, Sheila

Hi Sheila,

Ive stopped both Copaxone and Avonex in the past. Once because I needed a break and once because I was pregnant. Both times I did very well for a few months, and then BAM :!:

an exaccerbation :roll:

....so I went back on.

I have missed my shot for 2 days at the most (recently) and have not had any significant issues, however the longer you go, I would think the more chance of something happening...as for the hyper feeling...I dont think I have ever experienced that....

goodluck!
dawn

Dawn,

Thanks for the response. I have still not started back up and I think I may go as long as a month on a break. I started LDN in February and have done well on it, but I am wondering if I could do even better without the copaxone. Also, I am just so sick of the daily needle. I would describe myself as needing a break.

Best to you, Sheila
