Hey Sheila
Awww...i'm so sorry. Don't feel so bad, u'r surrounded by so many friends here. U'r not being ridiculous at all. Sometimes we all get down and feel just nasty, but u may have something making it worse.
Of course i don't know the answer to u'r question, but wanted u to know i'm here in u'r corner and hoping u feel much better tonight. I do think i've seen others say the med does make them feel down, so maybe it's the avonex as u suspect. I use Cymbalta to help calm my symptoms, but it's an antidepressant and i've heard very good about it for both uses. I like it and imagine it's prob kept me from being down many times too. Others here are on other meds and can tell u about them. I'd do some research on them all and would ask my doc for something when u see him again. This is alot for u to accept and absorb so quickly, so who wouldn't be depressed even without the med. Hang in there and u'll make it!
