I don't think you should feel like a quitter. Three years is a long time.

I just gave up on Copaxone after nearly 3 years (two weeks short of the 3-year mark).

While I was on it (or on Avonex before that), if I had a symptom I never knew if it was the MS or something else or maybe the Copaxone (or Avonex) that was causing it. Or maybe it was an MS symptom but the Copaxone was making it worse.

I think that's what was going on with the "bowel urgency" issue. It was the reason I gave up on Copaxone.

After all, you can always go back on Copaxone if you decide to stop it.
