Daily injections at first were overwhelming. 15 grams, but then cut in half. Ribavarin dropped from 1,200 to 1,000. I have tolerated these doses. They increased infergon last week and I cannot tell a difference. Will take me back to 1,200 Ribavarin next month. I've been nondetectable since April. I've had most of the side effects.
