well i messed up tonight. I was suppose to take a 1/2 dose for avonex tonight and i forgot to but it in the case thing and injected a full amount. I cant call my dr since its friday night. Has anyone done this? Im just worried i screwed up bad.
I wouldn't worry about it - the only purpose of doing the 1/2 dose is to ease into the medicine so it lessens the side effects. You may just feel a bit more 'flu like' symptoms than normal. When I started Avonex the first time they didn't even to the titration.
Call the 1-800 # for the Avonex people......they are always there.
It's just a lower dose to getbyour body used to it. Full dose won't hurt you :)
I Used Avonex And Did That Once As Well. Since This Is Once A Week Med, You Should Be Fine. Perhaps When Your Doctor Calls Back You Can Talk About Trying Oral Meds...I Switched To Oral Almost Three Years Ago
And Haven't Looked Back....
I'm guilty of the same, I was fine
