Have any of you had severe mood swings when you started avonex? I am usually a very laid back person, who rarely loses my cool. But since starting on Avonex (8th shot this week), I am battling terrible mood swings, I try to keep them to myself, which just gets me more anxious. I hate not having control over my emotions. Is this typical for avonex? I have to be honest, I am having second thoughts about avonex, if its working for me that is one thing, but the side effects are so bad, I am not sure how much longer I can take it.

Any advice?

Thanks!
