Hi I have been on rebif for 3 mths. Then first mth on 22, which was OK, then I went up to 44. When I switched all the symptoms of my past relapse returned with avengance. Has anybody else experienced this? I have now switched back to 22 but nothing is resolving and I am wondering if I should give it a miss.
Rebif - Rebif can it cause relapse like side effects?

Wow that's crazy that you have almost the same thing happen to you that happened to me. Once I reached my full dose of Rebif (44mcg) my body just got thrown out of whack. My side effects completely took over eventually sending me to the hospital due to optic neuritis. My doctor found 3 new lesions that were inflamed and inflammation behind my eye making me go on steroids. It has not been a fun experience but I would greatly suggest reaching out to your neurologist with this news as they may need to get you on different medication that will stop your symptoms. Good luck!

Thanx for your response it was very helpfull. I have now been taken off rebis and my symptoms are starting slowly to resolve. I have since heard that opthers have had a similar experience, so I am now wondering why they are using this drug!
Everyone with this problem with it should report it to the FDA.
I have to say that not everyone has this issue with Rebif. There are plenty of people that work well on Rebif and for me it was just too many bad side effects vs the results it received in return. It ended up not being worth it. Just have to do what is right for you and your body.
