Hi there, I am not diagnosed, so, I don't know much about ms drugs. I do know I didn't like any of the epilepsy meds I used to take. But, I took them while they helped.
Depression can be a nasty side effect of so many meds. Also a side effect of not feeling well, unfortunately. I am mostly cheery, but, I have my times. LOL
I have lyrica to take when neuropathic pain is bad. Other wise, I put up with it. I have had a number of mris over the last cpl yrs, but no lesions. Evoked potential in normal realms. Nothing else untoward, that I'm aware of.
I have lots of sensory stuff going on, and lots of weakness and fatigue. Just got over some visual stuff, well, GETTING over. LOL
Things wax and wane, no proper rhyme or reason.
I was lucky, the poor guy I'm with, met a healthy, slender, active young woman. He is now stuck with me, poor twit, LOL. AND he's useful around the house. I'll have to keep this one, I think. :) :)

I too am waiting to find a diagnosis of some kind. I do, however, have 2 sisters with MS. One of my sisters has been doing extremely well on the Tysarbi for the past 9 months - best I've seen her. No complaints about side effects. I hope that helps your research on it. she had done the ABC shots, then anothe rtreatment that I cannot remeber the name of.
Yes, stress can certainly effect your symptoms. That's probably true of any condition really.
Take care of yourself
