When I started I chose Betaseron. It didnt like me. I was forced to switch.

Many dont chose it because of the flu side effects, and the chance of depression. We spend our days struggling to get from point A to point B and anything that makes that harder tends to get put back to the lower portion of our choices. Copaxone boasts fewer side effects, no depression, and no liver damage to worry about. Many jump on the band wagon simply based on that.
