I HAVE BEEN ON THIS MEDICINE FOR 48 WEEKS AND HAVE A FEW MORE TO GO. HAS A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS, WEIGHT LOSS, MOOD IMBALANCES, FEVERS, CHILLS, HAIR LOSS AND MANY MORE THAT I HAVE DEALT WITH. BUT IF YOUR ON IT, HANG IN THERE. ITS THE BEST FDA APPROVED TREATMENT WE HAVE FOR HCV. AN MD AND A PATIENT

kim b - hang in there. no one bothers to tell you that the first treatment is the absolute very worst. this type of chemo works the opposite way, instead of bulding up and getting worse as you go, the first one is the worst and it gets better. you really need someone to talk to that has been through the treatment. ask your doctor for the nearest liver support group - or at the least the name of a patient that would be willing to talk to you.
