Does glatiramer acetate increase suicide rates in patients with MS?

We have had two separate reports of suicides and psychiatric events in our small town. Both cases after the patients were required to change from the brand glatiramer acetate to the bioequivalent. Are either company seeing increases in rates of suicides or psychosis in patients on these therapies, similar to what they see in interferon beta 1?
