If the valium is prescribed, take it as prescribed. Interfueron is tough enough. I read about lots of people on interfueron who are also on the done. Otherwise, it's not a good idea to take benzos and done. It got me into a lot of trouble, but then again, I wasn't on interfueron.

I was in the clinical trial at Mayo that established the interferon / ribavarin protocol that turned into the Pegasys / Pegatron therapy. I dont know if I could have finished the chemo without some other drugs. The interferon is a rough rascal, but its survivable and it does work. I was still undetectable at last PCR labs....treated about 12 years ago - Take the valium and methadone. And good luck to you..
