Ocrevus? How's it treating you?
I've been on Fingolimod Accord (generic Gilenya) for a year, Gilenya for 8-9 years, and before that Rebif for like 13 years? Medicated at 18, ill since 12. Never felt better really. Symptom free and side-effect free.
The Rebif was kicking my ass with its side effect, I attribute my constant intrusive suicidal thoughts during that time to the medicine, but other than a lower-than-normal heart rhythm I am a very happy user of my current medication.
- jassyr 3y agoAfter 3 years of Ocrevus I'm switching to Kesimpta this week. I've had too many infections with Ocrevus and I'm hoping the lower dose with Kesimpta will help. I had laryngitis for a few weeks, Covid for a few weeks, other little things too, and have had to miss work as a result. Otherwise Ocrevus has been amazing for my MS! I was diagnosed almost 15 years ago and doing fairly well. I skipped the 'CRAB' drugs specifically because of the depression/suicide risk. Being already at risk for those things I thought the negatives far outweighed the positives -- personal choice. So glad Gilenya is working for you! Some of the new drugs are quite amazing.
