Depression and Betaseron
Depression and Betaseron
Hi all. I imagine this may have been covered but please bear with me. I have been experiencing an increase in depression since I started Betaseron. It's been three months now and my mood has steadily declined. Can this be attributed to this medication? I do have bipolar disorder and it was stable prior to starting betaseron. I'm going to talk to my neuro ASAP but thought I'd see what other folks have exerienced. Thanks in advance.

I am not a depressed person at all and while taking steroids I had a very bad depression. I am on Avonex for 3 weeks now and I can already see a mood change, so for sure at the quantity of interferon you are taking on Betaseron is more then possible.
