I was wondering if anyone out there had to have there ribv up to 1400 mg/day? and if so did it work. You see my 12 wk. vl was still pretty high and my DR wanted to up my pills to see if it works.The DR said it does not lower she is taking me off of TX. I have gone 13 wks so far and more blood work next wk. Can't they up the shot more? Maybe if they give me more it will work. many questions I know I need to ask my DR which I will at the end of the month..

i did 1200mg of riba a day. I'm taking it that you are type 1a on a 48 week TX. do you know your VL?
i don't know any of the answers to which you ask, i just wanted to wish you well
There would be no point continuing to take those heavy duty meds, when it's obvious that I was a non responder.
But the good news is, they are currently working on new meds for those who are non respondent, or partial respondent, so in time, there will be a new combo treatment for those in your category.
No, frankly I for one, admire your doctor for not pushing you to do more weeks, when it is obvious that you are a non responder.
Sorry that you had to wait 12 weeks for your PCR to be told that you were not responding to the meds, at least you tried.
Love & Respect,

One day at the time.
