Hi Nancy! Welcome to Neurotalk!

I started Tec last March so I'm coming up on 1 year.

It's been a little disappointing in that I cannot tell any improvement.....although from what I've read you're not going to notice improvements. It's strictly to keep you from progressing any further.

Just in the past month or so I've noticed that I get heartburn/indigestion after eating most anything. I'm told this is a side effect of Tec.

I've always had the flushing side effect......even now after almost a year. It feels like I have a sunburn but the feeling goes away after about 1/2 hour.

I'm a little troubled by the indigestion and will speak to my Neuro about it. Probably will have to take yet another pill for that symptom........

I have not had an MRI since beginning Tec so I'm sure that will be next on the agenda.

How are you doing on the med? Noticing any side effects?
