Hi Hamilton,

I suspect you are just going to keep feeling better and better throughout the rest of treatment and certainly notice nothing worse than now. Riba has a half life of 12.4 days so after 84 days of use to date you are saturated with it. It will now drop to half the level in 12.4 days, quarter the level at ~25 days, one eighth at 37 days, one sixteenth at 50 days, etc.

http://www.drugs.com/pro/ribavirin.html “In addition, Ribavirin has a multiple dose half-life of 12 days, and it may persist in non-plasma compartments for as long as 6 months.”

Hi Hamilton, I am 1 week in and so far sx very manageable.

1st day, mild ‘hangover-like ‘ headache – drank water & it went, no more headaches since.
Speedy mornings after taking pill & amazing ‘flashes’ of feeling my old self – Day 2
Tinitus a little more pronounced but not bad.
After a week – Less sleep. Go to sleep ok but waking up earlier every morning.
Lower back/pelvic/hip pain returned, but not disabling, just ‘there’.(instinct says digestive/lower bowel, not frame/muscle)
Huge appetite – Think I’m putting on much needed weight!
Aware I am emotionally sensitive to anything sad or stressful, but more cheery in general – no doubt.
Oh yeah, sudden brain -fog episodes, worse in evening

All in all, it’s very easy You should feel so much better soon Hamilton .
