Oh, sorry to hear that. For me, Copaxone works much better than Betaseron did, but, we're all different.

Not on Rebif, but is very similar to Betaseron, which I used to be on.
  • Also a sub-Q shot, not a honkin' big IM needle like Avonex.
  • Prob has an auto-injector, if you prefer that.
  • Won't likely get the same site reactions (eg: welts) as you might have from Copaxone. Maybe some blotches that soon disappear in less than a wk.
  • Every other day, instead of daily.
  • Also burns going in, I've heard. Betaseron usually doesn't.
