Effexor vs. Riba Rage.Foreign Trash in Oral Liquid Ribavirin§Good Blod Counts???

by 5dogmom, Apr 14, 2003 12:00AM
Hi all!Been w/o a puter for 3 weeks.Hope ya'll r doing okay.I'm on week 14 of Pegasys/1400 Riba,1b.Did okay til week 5 & RAGE hit hard.Tried to deal til 3 weeks ago & started w/EFFEXOR XRon 3/28.I don't know where these past 2 weeks have gone.It seems to make me oblivious to anything around me!NO Rage,but total oblivion is NOT a good switch either!The one who couldn't deal w/my rage was Hubby,cuz it also TOTALLED any sex drive!Says he'd go elsewhere to get head if I won't give him any!Is he UnReal or what?!Personally,
I'd rather be Raging & cognitive,than unemotional & totally passive about EVERYTHING!I'd like to stop taking the Effexor,but don't want to tell hubby.I'm NOT depressed.As I took that ONLY for the RibaRage.
I also found some foreign stuff like tiny styrofoam beads in my oral liquid Riba syringe.Didn't take it,but Rn said it was just "unmixed compound",like a sugary based stuff?!Anyone else ever had this problem?Thinking of calling the FDA.DO NOT LIKE unknown items in MY TX Meds!
NEXT,Results for my Blood Counts:
Week 2- WBC=4.3-RBC=4.60.
Week 4- WBC=3.8-RBC=3.92.
Week 8- WBC=3.1-RBC=3.48.
Had Week 12 but no results yet.Rn says #'s are within acceptable limits,but look awfully low to me!!
Also WHICH OTHER RESULTS are the MOST critical ones to pay serious
attention to?
Week 8 - SGOT/AST = 73 & SGPT/ALT = 83.
Week 2 Thyroxine = 10.3 - TSH = 2.867 - T3 Uptake = LOW 20%.
ANY HELP or INFO WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED!Also,is anyone else out there a 1b on Pegasys & Ribavirin & near Week 14 like me?Also is there ANY OTHER WAY to deal with RIBA RAGE than Effexor?T/Y Karen!
