For Multiple Sclerosis "Love Aubagio, I've been taking it for about 14 months now and have no new activity/lesions based on MRI before starting Aubagio and one year later. Minimal side effects for me - initially some hair thinning but that sorted itself out after a couple of months. Should've started this sooner. Injecting Rebif was awful."

For Multiple Sclerosis "When I first started Aubagio, I had almost instant panic attacks that my Dr. And pharmacist said, were not from Aubagio, but every night after I had taken it for months about 15 minutes in I would have the most intense panic attacks that had lasted six months my attacks still lasted after that not as severe but still every day until I just quit it 3 months ago. I also had severe stomach ache, flushing, incredibly high blood pressure, hair thinning, I am feeling now it did help me with energy, I wasn't sure if it was Aubagio or an anti depressants that was helping me and the burning sensation is back in my body. My doctor is going to be upset I have not seen him since I quit, I just can't handle the fear in panic attacks and the blood pressure"

For Multiple Sclerosis "Was on Aubagio for 5 months. Extreme hair loss even with biotin supplements. Nasty digestive issues that eased up after 2 months but never stopped completely. Early in month 5, I noticed some rather large masses growing under the skin in my forearms. Stopped the drug a few weeks later and they stopped growing after 5 days. Had them surgically removed yesterday. The surgeon said it was not at all what he was expecting to find. The largest one had fingered into my arm wrapping around tendons and bones and required a lot of scraping. We thought they were shrinking but they were actually just moving deeper. I did not like this drug at all and am glad to be off of it. Waiting for biopsy results with fingers crossed."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I have used Aubagio for 18months after being on Avonex for 8 years. I love that I no longer have to stab my thigh with an inch and a half needle. I don't have any of the problems that others have talked about. I haven't had an MRI lately, so I don't know if things have gotten any worse. I feel ok but have problems with balance and walking which I had before starting Aubagio. I will continue on Aubagio."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I have had MS since 99. Been on shots and different pills. So far Aubagio has been really good. I take at night so I don't have side affects,I also take 2 Tylenol PM with it to keep any issues away, works great! Just don't like the hair loss..will be addressing with hair tech. The PM pill really does help, please try for the people still in it. Bladder,I had fix years ago so I don't have issues with that. Please try..."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I have been on Aubagio for almost a year now. Had severe diarrhea for a few months. Started drinking a glass of Benefiber everyday and that completely fixed it. My stomach rumbles a lot. Other than that....ZERO side effects. Though like all these drugs... wonder if it is really effective or not in slowing progression. BTW, if you have insurance, there's a copay assist. I pay nothing for this medicine."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I was diagnosed with ms 2003, and used betaseron, thrilled to take a tablet. So far so good, started out with headaches, body aches, general all over not feeling good. Then I took medication at dinner rather than in the morning. I slept thru the side effects, sometimes only waking up in the middle of the night with a headache that tylenol would correct. Now I am free of side effects only my hair is thinning out. I think I will stay with it. I have been free from any major problems, and thats the main idea!"

For Multiple Sclerosis "I have been on Aubagio for two years. My hair fell out for a couple of months, but completely stopped after that. This is the only medication that I’ve been on, so I have no comparison but the minor hair loss is the only side effect I’ve had. So far so good."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I have been on aubagio for about 2 1/2 years. I did lose a bunch of my hair a couple months in but it stopped after the 4th month and has grown back. I feel great and I am very healthy. Take it with a grain of salt (may be a mistake or just a miracle) but I had a very bad old lesion on my brain which is now not visible at all. The doctors can’t really say why but at least for me it was well worth fighting through the first few months to be so stable."

For Multiple Sclerosis "It took me a day to figure how to write a review on drugs.com. But! AUBAGIO IS STRAIGHT POISON! I’ve personally been on Aubiago 7 very, very long months and I’ve had EVERY SINGLE SIDE EFFECT! My neurologist keeps brain washing me by tell me I’m not doing anything for my MS, but please note before I was on Aubiago I weighed 149 pounds! I weigh 198 pounds now in just 7 months! I’ve stopped taking Aubiago last night by myself as my multiple sclerosis has greatly worsened ever since I started taking this medicine (aka poison!) Weight gain, hair loss, involuntary movements, stomach pain, irritable bowel syndrome, ear aches, tooth aches, muscle weakness, poor vision, loss of coordination, moody, irritable. I will try Med free as I would recommend for anyone to do as long as they can. To add Aubiago stays in your blood for 2 whole years! Yikes ! Good luck all!"

For Multiple Sclerosis "MS for 4 years, started first on Copaxone, which did not stop the lesions changed to Aubagio, after 1 year on Copaxone, by my Neurologist, who by the way is a world class expert ( lucky). I have had no further lesions or relapses. Hair thinning and loss, and nausea for the first 6 months, now resolved. Overall I feel better, with more energy, so I am happy with it"

For Multiple Sclerosis "I was diagnosed with MS in 2005 and started on Rebif in 2006. Side effects included weird cravings, depression and massive nodules at the injection sites. Which didn't help as I am also diabetic and was running out of places to inject. Had four relapses. Then changed to Aubagio last year. 1 month in I got Chickenpox from severe immune suppression. 3 months in my hair fell out, by the handfulls. 6 months in I started getting burning hands and feet (?Aubagio/?diabetes). Am currently having a relapse, but not as bad as before. My thighs have recovered completely. My hair is thicker than ever. And I've stopped taking my antidepressants. Only thing is the burning, which comes and goes. Love the packaging! Helps me remember if I've taken them."

For Multiple Sclerosis "It is awfully hard to open up the package containing the pills for me. I think Aubagio has helped my symptoms and other than thinning my hair a little no other side effects or relapses noted. Is there a way to change the packing to a pill bottle so they are easier to use."

For Multiple Sclerosis "So far my insurance hasn't covered the medication but MS One to One covers it (insurance company didn't get the copaxone documentation that said that I had 3 relapses while on this). After the insurance finally covers it, my copay should be $0. I don't like the packaging and do punch out the pills to put in my pill box. Hopefully this doesn't cause issues with their efficacy. I had thinning hair before starting the medication so I'm not sure if that's any issue but I still have this now. I did go to the Urgent Care as I was having deep burning pain in my sciatic region. I had fallen 10 days earlier and figured that it was residual pain from that. Then I noticed that is a side effect of this medication. Hopefully that gets better with time."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I was put on this as my first DMD (disease modifying drugs). Not happy with its low rate of effectiveness. Have a lot of brain lesions and four spinal cord lesions already. Yet my neurologist decided to put me on this lousy drug. It’s destroying my blood platelets and my white blood cell count. Doctor wants to wait to see if my blood counts stabilize before he takes me off it. It’s all I can do to choke the Aubagio pill down everyday—I hate it so much and have such little faith in it. I resent having been prescribed this garbage drug that’s hurting me instead of helping me."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I’ve been in a Aubagio for one month. Was Leary of trying it due to the listed side effects. I take it at bedtime, and haven’t noticed any bothersome issues. Minor tingling sometimes in my face, but not terrible. No hair loss yet, or stomach issues, thankfully. Energy level seems good, some issues I had prior to Aubagio, seem to have gotten a bit better. I’ll see how my MS is after 6 months!"

For Multiple Sclerosis "Aubagio is like a miracle drug to me. I spent years in a brain fog. After taking for a couple of weeks the fog started lifting. I have been on it for over a year and I am a high functioning member of society again. It has caused me to have neuropathy. But the benefit is worth it."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I was diagnosed with MS in 2004. Throughout my journey I have been on Copaxone, Betaseron and Avonex. I finally had enough of the shots - I'm over them and injecting myself. Just started Aubagio 3 days ago. I'm nervous about the side effects but this pill is so much easier. Self injecting meds caused a great deal of anxiety for me. Fingers crossed this med will keep me stable and if my hair thins, I hope it comes back. Best wishes to all."

For Multiple Sclerosis "Was on the drug 4-5 months with no side effects. Then swelling in my legs began, red leisions, blisters. My legs were almost twice normal size. Had a biopsy, it was determined to be this drug.. I had to do a "clean out" With cholestyramine, as this drug stays in your system 2 years. I've had 4 steroid treatments since this happened last year, the legs go down, but the swelling has returned every time. I've been told by 3 doctors in 2 weeks, that the drug did permanent damage to the cells in my lower legs. To see "caution is advised" is an understatement."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I was the first person in the United State to start on Aubagio eight years ago. I will start washing it out of my system tommorow. I had no new lesions since starting it but for fast few months all my original health issues and symptoms are back full force. Obviously Aubagio stopped working for me. It was nice while it lasted. In eleven days I will be starting on Mayzent. Little nervous about trying something new again. Wish me luck "

For Multiple Sclerosis "Aubagio caused alopecia and severe breathing problems, shortness of breath, heavy chest, severe panic attacks, and ground glass nodule on lung. Pulmonologist tests, CAT scans, continual lung issues for years after stopping Aubagio. Very, very scary. Be aware that the side effects can be severe and listen to your gut if something seems off. Keep going in until someone listens and helps."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I have been taking Aubagio for almost a month, and I can tolerate it with very low bothersome issues. I do think my hair is getting thin, lots of itchy feelings on and off. I do get some muscle pain and soreness, but tolerable. I get very tired a few hours after I ingest Aubagio, but a nap and I’m good again. I’m satisfied with the low side effects of this drug,"

For Multiple Sclerosis "Aubagio causes GI side effects and I developed Crohn’s disease while on it. I think that the Aubagio triggered whatever latent immunological or inflammatory defect underpins Crohn’s in me. I moved cities and know for a fact that my experience was not reported as an adverse drug reaction to the authorities but people should know it’s a possibility."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I am 66yrs old and I was out on Aubagio 14mg alt days. After only 2 weeks I feel like I it is the end of me. I feel so ill with headaches, pain in my hips and pelvic area, shivers, no energy to even walk, keep going to bed I am so tired. I am thinking of stopping because I felt fine before taking Aubagio and full of energy, walking the dogs, riding my motorbike etc. Having only ever had 2 events, 1 in 1993 and a second in 2011. The consultant says I have more lesions and risk brain damage but I really wonder as things can slow down It's not worth feeling this poorly for me"
