copaxone just came out with a promise that no one shall pay more than a $35 co pay per month who takes their drug. Since you need to fail off another one first (which is just wrong) you will have to try Avonex (which now has a small needled, auto injector, and is once a week) or Rebif (3x a week) or Betaseron (every other day) All have about the same side effects.

You wont know which way it will affect YOU till YOU take it. I didnt react well, but my friend has been on it 10 years without a single issue.
