Copaxone side effects--weight gain and hair loss!

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced these side effects. I started copaxone at the beginning of August. I noticed gradually the weight gain and hair loss. But I'm to the point where I am going to stop taking my injections--I can't take it anymore. I don't know what the alternative will be for me but I can't continue to feel this awful I thought that copaxone was the lesser of the evils and that's why I chose it...   Would love to hear other people's story! Be well.

Thanks for your thoughts on this...I did just speak to my Neuro...he does think these symptoms are most likely the result of the Copaxone (and while they are not the most common side effects, they are side effects). Everyone reacts differently to the drug, I suppose. I was really hoping Copaxone was going to be the drug for me (because I definitely felt less fatigued on it). I am hoping BG12 will come out soon! Best of luck to you.
