I had a male friend,He had committed suicide,after interferon use.mow I am crying

Hello there,

I was unsure how to make a posting on your website in relation to interferon. I am just starting to do some research into this medicine and your websites have been very helpful.

I had a male friend, age 38 whom recently completed a 6 month course of peg Interferon for the treatment of Hepatitis C. He was looking forward to coming off the medication as he did not like the side effects - depression being one of them. He was then told he needed to do a further 6 months of treatment.

He then went missing for almost 2 weeks until his body was finally washed up. He had committed suicide. This was very out of character. We all knew that he had been down and depressed but had no idea he was low enough to commit suicide.

It was a very tragic and sad end to a young mans life. He has left behind a wife and son.

I can say for sure if it was this medication that caused this. It certainly seems to have coincided with this medication though. After reading all of the posts on your website and the research you have done, I can't say that I would recommend this medication to anyone!!!!!!!!!

If Mr/Mrs Lipper isn't a noob (which I believe is most likely the case - just looking to "puff up" it's resume a bit by acting as if he/she has been here longer than anyone else), then there is a possibility that this is the reincarnation of "hippiemom" & "Dr. Dee". If you remember back to that episode (which of course Mr. Liar could therefore tell us in grand detail, since he was here for not only that one, but Handbag and all the previous 'wars'), "hippiemom" had many of the same traits as this one - arrogant, know-it-all, self-proclaimed "expert", complete lack-of-patience, quick to strike out when cornered in their load of BS, etc. Soon "hippiemom" got the boot and we were graced with the next incarnation - "Dr. Dee" - a passive-aggressive "expert" with innumerable over-lapping details/traits as "hippiemom".

But either way, if Mr Lie-bag has been at Med Help since time began, it should be a mere piece of cake for him to regurgitate all that has taken place here in the past 4 years (my time-frame) and longer (e.g. - Mikesimon's time-frame).

and the other is not far behind, one goes - as does the other...games at Medhelp, they'll go on forever, or at least until this virus is vanquished, then there won't be any need for a hep c theme (thank the heavens!)....hopefully then, we'll come here to talk about something else, like hybrid cars or something! but the games will still go on, beginning to think it's just the nature of these boards, and all the *various* personalities....

ok mike i take your word on it and sorry rev for accusing you once again. did you feel better using the "F" word in your post? did you ever think that is the type of behavior that gets you booted from here? thanks for wishing me SVR and i wish you the same. many things you say are right on and i agree with 100%. i have always said you are very knowledgeable about HCV and a real assest even though you have a very short fuse and blow up easily. this disease has a way of changing people. best of luck to you.

PS, fess up, were you sonic bandaid? LOL just kidding :-)

I truly believe you have been here before because I suspect you are someone who I have disagreed with in the past--hence you ignore my post to you.

Funny how you responded to every single post, but somehow missed mine.
Reminds me of someone else who was here under a different name.
We may have had our differences in the past, but oddly enough, I have a certain amount of respect for you. I've said before, we are just different.
I have my feeling for who you are, so I would like to ask this:
Was the 2nd tx successful? I know it was extended, becaue you didn't clear the first time. Hope you are SVR this time.

I know rev is not mr liver. I have known Scott for a long time and yes, he can get very angry but he has never masqueraded as anyone as long as I have know him. I know him both on and off the forum well enough to say this with a very high degree of certainty. I ask that you trust me on this point. I am not asking you to like him or forgive him for things he may have said that offended you. I just ask that you believe me when I say he's alway revinire in one variation or another and he's honest about who he is and what he believes - oh, and we don't always agree either. Mike
