    Interferon beta-1a IM Injection Treatment Evaluation

    • Perceived effectiveness for MS (Multiple Sclerosis): ?Can't tell
    • Side Effects: ModerateModerateModerateModerateModerate
    • Adherence: AlwaysAlwaysAlwaysAlwaysAlways
    • Burden: SomewhatSomewhatSomewhatSomewhatSomewhat
    Advice & Tips
    I manage side effects by taking hydrocodone. I am also taking Lexapro for the anxiety/depression caused by Avonex. Strangely, I have not had a cold of any kind in the 3 years I have been on Avonex. The ipact of Abonex is that it takes a day and a half out of each week. I have to plan my week around the days I am debilitated by side effects.
