Just started Tecfidera. Today is my 8th day and the first day of the maintenance. I seem to be doing ok. Having a few side effects but nothing horrible. Has anyone else tried Tecfidera? Any side effects?

Hi!

On copaxone for 14 years and swtiched to Tecfidera October 1. Really anxious as don't do well with meds BUT none of the terible side effects reported. I now find that I do feel weird and spacey. Dealt with dizziness on and off forever as one of my lesions are in my cerebellum but this is different.Just feel out of it. Anyone had same reactions? Will contact my neuro who did the third round of studies. Don't mind having to get through this but wouldn't want to live like this forever. Don't know if it helos but have been on probioitcs for a year so maybe that stopped the gastro side effects. As with all things with this disease - who knows?

Thanks,
Sharon
