If I must go off Copaxone...

Ok. Wife has MS - since 1996. Secondary progressive. On Copaxone for the past three years. Going on Medicare October 1. She has Anthem Blue Cross supplemental prescription. Neurologist is calling to get a prior authorization since Copaxone is not on their formulary.
My question: if the co-pay is going to be more than we can afford, and if we cannot receive assistance, what is the recommended procedure to wean off of Copaxone?
I'd rather hear from someone whose neurologist helped them wean off rather anecdotal stories of those who quit cold turkey with no side effects.
