Had liver function results today. Liver functions up so Neuro has decided to take me off Rebif for 2 weeks to evaluate. However 2 weeks will stretch to 3 because I am back in the UK for a week before returning to Middle East.
I am worried about a relapse - any advice on how to minimise risk? I am currently in CIS stage.
Neuro said he may switch me to Copoxone when I ...

Hey Everyone - So I have been on rebif for, man, like 4 or 5 years now it must be. I am only on the .22 dose, .44 was killing my liver. So on the .22 I have pretty much no side effects. However recently I started to notice something new. Not sure if it is an MS thing, or a drug thing.

Post subject: Depression, Heightened Emotions with Rebif Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 1:52 am |

I've been on Rebif for 8 months and have been experiencing pretty frequent depression and an increase in emotional outbursts. I get angrier faster, have mood swings, or just plain get more emotional than I used to before the Rebif. It's driving my hubby nuts. Sometimes I feel like the Rebif is making me lose my mind. My neuro says these things are all treatable with antidepressants, but that's the last thing I want. I'm ...

I have had it with this drug. My hair is falling out, my head hurts, I can't sleep and the fatigue I deal with is horrible. I have been on Rebif for 2 years and wonder if I feel like this because of the drug or my MS. I feel like a shell of my former self. So I am going off the Rebif to see if it helps, I can always go back on ...
