I started this drug in April of 2012. I was fine until about the 2nd shot. After that, my life has been a living nightmare. My mood was like I turned bipolar. I would get upset and cry over absolutely nothing! Would fly off into uncontrollable rages. The positive aspect is that I have only 2 more shots to go. My initial viral load was over 4 million.

I started this drug in April of 2012. I was fine until about the 2nd shot. After that, my life has been a living nightmare. My mood was like I turned bipolar. I would get upset and cry over absolutely nothing! Would fly off into uncontrollable rages. The positive aspect is that I have only 2 more shots to go. My initial viral load was over 4 million. By the third month, it dropped to undetectable levels. I survived the rage & mood swings by going on an antidepressant (Highly recommended). I will give an update when I am completely finished with treatment!

I have been taking Peg Interferon and Copegus(Ribavirin) since Jan 3 2012. I have type 1 of the virus. I have decided to discontinue the use of them because the psychotic effects are truly disturbing. The Rage and Anger now consume my every moment, and as get almost no sleep it is a living hell. The physical stress from Anger and Rage rings out in every cell of my body. I have experienced almost all of the side effects, Blindness in one eye, over sensitivity to light, nausea... read that list that comes with product and I have had/do have them all. I am discontinuing the treatment because there is hi probability that the long term effects (psychotic) don't go away. Everybody dies, it is just a matter of when and how. Not every one suffers from mental illness, and a life of mental illness is no life at all to me. So I am abandoning the treatment in the hope that my sense well being and inner peace will return. I don't want to exist in living hell of mental illness. Death is a massive part of life. I want to be concious of dying and engage with that process fully to gain the full benefit of death as it relates to cycle of life. You can't do that if you are mentally ill.

Diagnosed with Hep-c type 2 B. Was on treatment for 6 months.No bad side affects till 3 months- After injections would get nausea,aches,weakness and some forgetfulness.Also developed shortness of breath.Took vitamins,ate healthy things and excersised as much as i was able.Some dizzyness occured.Started treatment 2/10. Took a while to get my strengh back and had aches for months after.Now I feel great,still undetectable after over a year.Treatment was rough but,it worked for me.I do construction and have no limitations as of now.It won't work if you don't do treatment exactly as directed.3 others were on it at the same time and they all missed the Riboviron pills some days which is important for treatment to be effective.It worked for me and I pray it keeps on.Have bloodwork appt.next month to check levels.I beleive the result will be in my favor as i don't have any of the symtoms i had before treatment.My doctor said that it does not work on everyone.I thank God it worked on me!
