9 Days left on Incivek but struggling

[Cyn621]

I have 9 days left on Incivek but honestly, I feel like I am dying a slow death.  I no longer go to work and I can barely breath.  My doctor is trying to get me to the end of the 9 days without having to give me Neupogen.  My WBC is 2.0 and my Platelet Count is 109.  


I am seriously considering just ending this now and taking my chances that the Incivek did it's job.  At 4 weeks I was undetectable.  This is my first time treating. I am genotype 1.  Had a liver bioposy at the start stage 1, grade 1.  Viral load was 6.2mil.  All liver tests AST/ALT in normal range  I keep thinking, what difference can 9 lousy days make and I am so sick at this point, I feel like I need to save myself.  HELP!

I don't know if there is incivek withdrawals but I had the worse week of my life when I stopped and I think it was because the incivek kept me sleeping and tired, fatigue and when I came off I felt the full force of the Riba that was obvious to high a dose for me. Reducing it straightened everything out. But waking up after sleeping for 3 months because that is what I did. I had very few bad sides from the incivek while on it. Just the itching and sores. It knocked me out for 3 months and I think that was a good thing to get through those months. I'm awake and coming more alive everyday. Still fatigue but nothing like on the incivek. Hopefully my anemia will get better too as I do take procrit but it just kept me stable on the incivek so now maybe it will actually bring it up to stop the fatigue. Some people who don't have the riba reaction will come off the incivek with no problem is my guess.

i think you can be a great help here..i'm not trying to say that i don't appreciate proven info....but i also think there should be a mix ...some old info...some new ....i worry about some folks not feeling like posting their sx...or how they feel...if theres a car accident i help first....i've helped many people in the past not worrying about if they would blame me for helping...i even carry fire extinguishers with me as well as all kinds of tools and medical stuff to help...as you can see i knew i would get pounded for trying to help cyn...i did the best i could to help...after reading many posts i like to think i can tell when someone is really hurting....the internet can be so misleading....sorry about that ...and again...thanks for the info.......billy

You certainly are an anomaly so I guess it could be said old proven info does not apply in your case.  If my asking you for supporting data seems like a cheap shot to you then I must be confused because I was under the impression you have benefited from old proven data provided to you by long standing and knowledgeable members.

I'm on 6 weeks of the 3 combine doses of riba+pegas+incevik. I was wondering if anyone has had an issue of severer itching all over the body? Along with light headiness and dizzy.  This started about a week ago so I took some benadryl and it stopped the itiching but I don't like taking the benadryl ever day...but anyway my question is does anyone have the itching issue? I never had this issue when I was on the 24 weeks of riba+pegas so believing this could possibly be do to the incevik.
