Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
about some one was talking about taking CHANTIX while on tx.
I have been thinking about this all night.
Don't mean to be negative or scare anyone, but I'm going to tell you my experience with Chantix.
My sister in law was bipolar and taking Chantix to quit smoking. She ended up dying of a "accidental OD". Come to find out, that Chantix sides can give bipolar or ppl with depression, suicidal thoughts. So, does the combo drugs of interferon and ribavirin.
Sorry for this tale of gloom. Just want you to be aware.

Im ready to start...
Just want ppl to know, and it's so important to do research on the drugs we take. And to get second opinion on Dr's as well. Nothing wrong with drilling the Dr. with questions. Not all GI's are current with HCV.
It's a mess on here, but we will get back on top of things. We always do!
Happy Saturday, ALL!
