"After treatment for 48 weeks with Rebetol combined with PegIntron, I no longer have the virus in my system. Side effects included extreme fatigue toward the end of treatment, along with flu-like symptoms every weekend after administering the shot of PegIntron on Fridays."

"48 weeks of treatment of HCV 1(a b) by NHS (UK national free Medicaid equivalent). Dosage was lowered at one point due to adverse side effects on blood count, re: hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia. Post-treatment, suffered acute pancreatitis episode. Numerous other adverse side effects during and post-treatment, chronic (for 9 years) side effects attributable to either or both ribavirin and interferon - the more serious chronic effects include: depression, anxiety, memory impairment, fatigue, sleep disorder, concentration, and executive function impairment. Brief episode of delusion/psychosis during treatment. Initially responded but relapsed early during treatment despite rigorous adherence to treatment schedule."
