Hi Phwootie,

 

Yes, I have, although I've not read much on the topic.  This summer my neurologist suggested that we add an immunosuppressant (ie a chemotherapy agent) on top of Copaxone.  I already take one for my rheumatoid arthritis so adding another didn't really make sense.

 

Chemotherapy drugs which are sometimes used include Imuran and Methotrexate.
