Hello,
I am supposed to be starting Avonex as soon as my insurance gives the OK. I'm a little nervous though because when they called to get it all set up I had to listen to a very long message about potential side effects. I know any medication has potential side effects, but all the psychological effects mentioned sound scary. Has anyone on here had experience with Avonex and suffered depression or hallucinations? Were you on an anti-depressant? I had wanted to use this drug because it's the only one they would OK to take while breastfeeding and I don't want to wean my son just because I have to start taking medicine. At the same time I don't want to become unhinged.
