First pill today... Any tips?
I was on Copaxone from 2002-2012, Avonex 2012-current day. I'm tired of needles!!! Today I'm taking my first dose of Aubagio. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips. What's a good time of day to take it? With food or empty stomach?

I take mine first thing in the morning. That way I never forget.

It really doesn't matter what time of day you take it, as long as you're consistent.
DRINK MORE WATER!!! It'll reduce/eliminate any headaches.
It also doesn't matter if you take with food or not, but go easy on greasy, spicy stuff for the first little bit. A few off tummy days may happen. Mine were super mild.
Good luck."Hope for the best and plan for the worst. That way, all your surprises will be pleasant."

Day three not so good
Thank you for your replies. Dose 1 and 2 were fine. No noticeable side effects.....until this morning. I took my third dose last night and woke up this morning with a full body rash!! I called my Neuro and of course he's out of the office for the rest of the week. His nurse said to stop taking it and let her know when it clears up.
