      From Cydne1 November 6

      Thank-you for the kind words. Yeah it seems as I head to the finish line, I start getting a few more sides, especially the itching (on my head) but its a little closer to the finish so thats my driving force.

    • Close Hepatitis C

      HCV+ probably since late 60's to the best of my knowledge

      Treatments

      Pegylated Interferon Too Soon to Tell
      bit of a rough sea at times both physically and mentally
      Ribavarin Too Soon to Tell
      a bit of a rougher sea for me with this drug - but overall OK
    • Close Depression

      previous history of depression - now on meds to undergo HCV treatment

      Treatments

      Edronax Somewhat Helpful
      has been just increased to 12mg daily in 3 split doses after 6months at 8 mg
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      anxious for the first two days then it started to work - still only low dose 5mg at night. Helped a lot with the generalised anxiety from drug treatment effects and reboxetine
