Good afternoon!
I just stumbled across this thread. I just started taking Mayzent last week. So far, i think i'm doing ok. I've had some headaches and a lot of fatigue by the end of the day. However, i've been struggling with fatigue anyway.
I was on Tysabri and couldn't handle the infusions anymore. My veins are difficult to find and then it takes multiple pokes to get the needle in and stay. After a year, i had enough.
If interested i can keep you posted however no major side effects as of yet and i'm on day 8!Dx March 2018; possible first episode: August 2011

I am on 2 mg! Still feeling great! Had headaches as a side effect but they have gone away. Best i've felt in the past year.
With Tysabri i felt very dehydrated. I couldn't have any alcohol because i would fall and feel hungover (even after one drink). With Mayzent i feel like i'm able to go back to being a younger adult living life. Big fan so far!Dx March 2018; possible first episode: August 2011

Good afternoon!
I am still on Mayzent and still doing well. It's the best i have felt and even have forgotten i have MS Occasionally i get a shooting nerve pain (more recent) but i have a lot going on with planning a wedding and potty training a toddler. At first i was getting some headaches toward end of day however that has subsided. Other than that, my fatigue has dramatically improved, i am able to have a cocktail and not fall over (on tysabri i could not drink as it dehydrated me severely) and it only takes a second of my day to take my medicine.
I had a scan completed in December with no new lesions and i have been on this since July 3rd. I will be having another MRI on brain and spine in April just to ensure. Overall, i feel really good on it! No complaints as of yet.Dx March 2018; possible first episode: August 2011
