Guest guest Posted December 5, 1999 Report Share Posted December 5, 1999 Hi Carla, <br><br>I'm sorry to hear that the INFERGEN didn't do the trick for you. Your dr should have upped the dosage or moved you on to 5 days a week. I did the combo for a year with no loss of virus at all. I started INFERGEN at 15mcg 7 days a week and within 7 weeks went undetected. It kicked my body to death but it also kicked the virus. I'm now on the 15mcg 3 times a week.<br><br>I would wait until the Pegelated Interferon comes out if I were you. Combo is really hard to handle, causing anemia, hair loss, weight loss...its a pretty nasty combination all the way around. <br><br>Do some research and talk to your dr about what he thinks will be the best move for you. After being on it for 53 weeks, I'd take a break too, but only about a month.<br><br>Remember, the viral load amount really has nothing to do with how bad your liver is. At least you had a year of interferon, working to keep your liver healthy.<br><br>Fibrosis is reversable!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
