    New to copaxone

    I was wondering do u start this with the full dose? Or titrate?

    Full dose because aside from skin itchiness and irritation, there's no other side affects. Someone may correct me but I think the other 3 injection meds are live protein and Copax is not. Hope it works for you.

      Yes, I was told to start with the full dose (20mg everyday).

      I've also read that 7 days x 20mg = 140 mg per week, while the new 40 mg dose x 3 days = 120 mg per week, so THEORETICALLY you could skip one shot if you take the 20 mg daily and achieve the same results. But as I'm not aware of any trial or scientific study on this, I was afraid to change what my neuro prescribed me.
