Hi there - Today would have been day 14 on Tecfidera (day 7 on the 240 mg dose) and I didn't take the pill. Last night I had horrible stabbing stomach pain and after 2 weeks of feeling nausea and fatigue and overall achiness, I decided to skip the morning pill. Earlier this week I saw my neurologist, and he recommended cutting back from 2 240 mg capsules per day to just one. Or even to one every other day for a couple weeks until my body got used to the effects. I didn't do as he said, hoping to just make it through with the full dose, but now I need to reassess.
Now I'm trying to figure out if I should do as he said, cut back and hope, or just go back onto Avonex where I was doing well (or try Gilenya).
Has anybody been on Techfidera, had a really hard time, cut back, and succeeded in getting back to the full dose without feeling miserable? I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth giving it a second try or if I should move on.
Thank you!
