rebif prescription form

I've been on Rebif for about 13 years. My insurance recently stopped covering it, but offered Aubagio as an alternative--sounded good to me! I'll be switching, but I'm worried about just stopping Rebif cold turkey (which my neurologist suggests). Has anyone had any experiences with stopping Rebif?

Hi. On a recent job application form it states that I must have vision of 6/12 or better with either eye and 6/6 with both eyes, with or without spectacles 6/36 without spectacles/ contact lenses. I wear Spectacles and my prescription = 2.5 and 2.75 ? I am lost, can anybody help ?

That is the best outcome. Rebif, nor any of the other three firstline meds, are considered cures. Rebif is an excellent med with a good reputation. And therer are other meds that are coming along soon that will be in pill form, but it remains to be seen who will do best on those versus using the shots. Now, the reality is that a good proportion of people with MS will need some aid for walking and other activities (like a cane or wheelchair) within about 20 to 25 years after diagnosis.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it was something like that (you did mean to say injectable form and not pill form, right?) Thanks for all your work on the health pages, too. Those are really great resources! I have certainly learned a lot.

After a further conversation with the clinic nurse, I settled on Rebif and started on it approx 3 months after my dx. I was actually ready to start it within a month of my dx, but the MS clinic was putting off calling in my prescription because they wanted me to have full drug coverage in place before starting (through the provincial MS Drug Program in Alberta).

Anyone here one with a diagnosis of MS and is having trouble getting disease modifying drugs, such as Copaxone or Rebif, due to lack of insurance, insurance company unwilling to pay or trouble with pharmaceutical company please tell your story as to why.

Hi all, my daughter was diagnosed with MS at the age of 14 and she is now 17 and has started with Rebif about 9 months ago. The is on rebif 44 and has no real side effects from the injection any more. But she had to have her gallbladder removed 2 months ago. She has also picked up 15 kilos since she started on rebif even though she is eating healthy and is doing swimming and spinning...no matter what she does she cant drop the weight. Is there anyone else who is having this problem?

I have been taking Rebif injections, since January 2010, and I have never missed a single one, until now. Up until January 1, 2012, I have received my Rebif injections, free of charge, due to the fact I had no health insurance. I became eligible for Medicare, on January 1, 2012, and so I have had to wait for MS Lifelines to decide whether I'm still eligible for their "free of charge" program.

I think I need to get some MS drug paraphernalia, posters, stirring stick and especially the Copxone clock to put on display with my prescription bottles. I wonder if Refif has a clock too? I will then be just like my siblings and the rest of my family. It will be so good for my boys to build such good memories. :) please, understand I am trying to spread a bit of humor, be it good or not so good.

I will start Avonex, as soon as I can get an appt with an injection nurse. I had an allergic reaction to Rebif, but my neuro feels that it was likely a reaction to something specific to Rebif- not interferon. I am also now taking Baclofen. It is helping. I still feel the "hug", and spasms in other places- but it doesn't seem to get quite as severe. I would like to still take my zanaflex, but don't think he refilled it. I think the baclofen is replacing zanaflex.

Am starting on rebif and I guess the doctor faxed the prescription to the MS life-lines program. it has been at least a week. I have reeived the welcome kit and a call that said to return the phone call however when i call I seem to be on hold every time for 30 plus minutes waiting and then noone has any info or "its too soon" My question is..how long did it take for people to get a call about starting therapy and actually get the meds delivered and get started.

It's unlikely that Rebif will help with your current symptoms. DMD's like Rebif, are designed to keep new MS activity/relapses form occurring. They are not intended to easy current symptoms. There is a definite connection between overdoing it and fatigue. I proved it yesterday :-) I went for a 3 mile walk yesterday. But the end of the walk I had great difficulty controlling my left leg. This is an old/existing symptom. It's also an indication that I've over done it a bit.

I HAVE SECONDARY PRIMARY MS, REBIF IS TO TREAT RELAPSING AND REMITTING.AT THE PRESNT TIME,YES I DO FEEL THE REBIF HAS HELPED,EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT APPROVED FOR SPMS. THE DISEASE MODIFYING MEDS ARE TO SLOW THE PROGRESSION.MRI'S ARE THE TRUE ANSWER. WITH MS,WE ARE GONNA HAVE SYMPTOMS,THERES MAINTENANCE MEDS TO HELP DAILY FOR THE SYMPTOMS. SINCE STARTING THE REBIF HAVE YOU HAD ANY RELAPSES THAT HAVE REQUIRED SOLU-MEDROL INFUSIONS?

I was just wondering what devices other people use to inject their DMD. I'm on rebif and I use the RebiSmart injector. That's what they sent me and no one asked me what I wanted, but I'm glad because it's very easy to inject with.

Unless you have a very aggressive form stay with the injections. I take Rebif. It is taken three times per week. Some people get flu like symptoms when taking it. I have no reactions to it. Most people that take Rebif take two Advil's about an hour before injecting. Many take it before bed so they can sleepl through the flu symptoms. I take it early in the day because it keeps me awake. They will start you on a low dose working up to the highest.

I've got the nurse coming out tomorrow to take me through my first Rebif injection but this morning I've woken up with cold sores covering almost my entire lower lip....is it still ok to go ahead with starting rebif or should I put it off til I'm less run down? sorry if this is a silly question but I want to get off to a good start being as I have waited so long to start a dmd!

s and reading other forums, I have narrowed it down to Rebif or Betaseron due to the strength of the meds. My Neuro is leaning towards Rebif for me. I just need a thorough explanation as to why. My last two meetings with him where with me laying on the floor because I couldn't sit down due to lumbar puncture headaches! I will keep you all posted. Thanks again and God Bless you all!

Is anyone else on Rebif? Any pointers or tips or suggestions from people who have been on Rebif (or Betaseron or Copaxone or Avonex)? I'm a little scared to start therapy, but also excited. I'm trying to be very positive about this. Thanks!

OF COURSE AFTER I ALREADY POST THIS I FIND A HUGE PDF FORM ABOUT WHAT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS DRUGS THEY COVER. FROM DMD'S TO ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND SO ON. IF ANYONE ELSE NEEDS THIS INFORMATION I FOUND IT HERE: http://www.tricare.mil/pharmacy/bap/14%20Jan%202010%20BAP%20Handout.pdf THANKS FOR LISTING TO ME BABBLING!

But I used to get panic attacks in form of tachycardia and palpitations. I have been taking Propranolol for last 3 months and have tapered it off to 5 mg 2 times a day. Because of the persistent symptoms of panic attacks, my endocrinologist referred me to a psychiatrist. She diagnosed me as having Mixed Anxiety Depression. She prescribed me: 25 mg Sertraline - Once in a day 0.
