Gabapentin and it's not doing anything IMO 😥

I’m scared to start mine. They just started me on ocrevus last year and I honestly feel worse.

I'm in my second year of taking Ocrevus. They say it takes about three treatments to really start telling a difference. Le the tell you, it's the only medication that makes me feel remotely normal.

😥 I've never taken that. I'm about 2 weeks into diagnosis

Gabster

I’m on Rituxan, infusion done every 6 months. It’s like ocrevus but cheaper. When I was first diagnosed they put me on gabapentin and it actually made my numbness and tingly worse.

Tysabri for MS. Various things for my symptoms. Gabapentin was THE WORST.

And they made me feel like I was going crazy about gabapentin. It definitely made me feel worse

Gilenya for the MS. I’ve been on Gabapentin since 2018, but that’s because I had shingles. I didn’t even realize they prescribed it for MS, but I guess it makes sense because it affects nerves

Kesimpta. I don't feel any different. I suppose it's doing something. I like that I only have to take it once a month and it gets shipped to my house. Time will tell I guess. 🤞
