rebif and anxiety

[Needhelp16]

For all of you past and present Rebif users.  Once you were on the 44mcg, did anyone notice a vast change in their mental well being?

My anxiety is out of control.  I am on meds for it and it does help, but it doesn't stop the attacks.  My moods are all over the place, and I really think it's the Rebif.

My docs know about this.  My neuro wants me to continue the 44mcg, and I see him on the 19th.  I'm also weaning myself off of some meds, which my docs are aware of, so maybe that's partially it too.  Idk

This anxiety and moodiness is killing me though.  Does anyone have any thoughts?  Thanks in advance!

I have 3 kids, so eliminating loud noise isn't possible!  lol...I just have 1 can of diet pepsi a day.  I have to have some caffeine. I'm not a coffee drinker, never have been...idk

Ugh - Pain makes sends my pulse through the roof, and makes me feel anxious. So, was wondering if that too was a contributing factor :(

Have you tried removing all stimuli? i.e., no caffeine, no loud places, tvs and radios (even computer) ? I know it's  not going to dent the problem at all, but just trying to think of some of the stuff I did to help cope til your appt...
