Advice & Tips
I was on Betaseron for 3 years and switched to rebif for a year.........before both of those I was on Copaxone. Copaxone did nothing for me. Rebif made me soooooo sick. I switched back to Betaseron. I doubt I will ever change again. I have done really well on it. I had 1 relapse in 3 years and decided I was switching (wrong choice). So it is BETASERON for me.
