Anyone been taking this medication?

So I have been on Tecfidera since 2012 and have had no relapses since. It has been working very well for me with no side effects. Well I just recently got new health insurance which no longer covers Tecfidera so my doctor is putting me on Vumerity. I understand it’s similar to Tecfidera, but is anyone currently taking this medication? What has been your experience? Does it work just as good as Tecfidera?

I have been on Tecfidera for so long now and it’s been working great so I’m not happy about having to switch. I’m a bit nervous actually. So I’d love to hear some feedback from anyone who has been taking it?

Ladybug162,
I was on Tecfidera for about 2 years after 18 years on Betaseron. Just about 8 months ago I was switched from Tecfidera to Vumerity with absolutely no change in MS symptoms or side effects of the medications. The change from Tecfidera to Vumerity has been absolutely undetectable and completely without regret.
