Default Restarting double dose of tecfidera today
I just ended my 3 weeks of one pill a day and today is my first day of twice a day. Im praying I don't get those side effects again and have to quit this time. Fingers crossed!!

Ughhh. Sorry to hear that. If people cannot tolerate the 2x a day are some doctors suggesting 1x a day is fine because some medicine is better than no medicine?? Or is 50% of the usual prescribed dose not going to cut it?
