Jim had to start Zoloft after he started Beta. It took about 6 months to notice the slow creeping depression. He's fine now that he's on the AD. Good luck to you.

The only part about Avonex Jim hated was the flu like symptoms. Most go away in time but his never did. He stayed on it for four years with no changes in his MRI which was great. But as mentioned, the flu like stuff was maddening. We never knew if the fever was due to a UTI or the Avonex. Plus it lasted three days after the shot for Jim, sometimes longer. Beta is much better for him but I have heard others say Beta did what Avonex did to him. So everyone is different. Hope it does well for you. Jim didn't need an AD with Avonex. I remember Victor saying he didn't have any problems with Avonex.

Love the baby pic!
