Hello everyone. I treated with pegasys and ribavirn back from november 08 til september 09, cleared a 6 million viral load in 4 weeks and the virus never returned....
Now, why I've decided to post here again all this time later is there is one thing that's ALWAYS had me wondering, and something I really need some kind of answers to for my own personal reasons.
I'm fully aware of common depression is among people on treatment, but is it heard of for the opposite to happen? Like serotonin level actually increase to the point of extreme happiness, optimism and motivation. I gotta say, during that time period, despite how I felt, I was happier than ever. I said to myself every day, in shock, "I'm finally happy." I had lots of focus and mental energy as well. This overall mental and spiritual well-being never occurred for me prior and hasn't returned since.
Now, at the same time of treatment, I was very strong in my faith of a certain religious persuasion. I'm trying to sort things out personally and spiritually and really wish I could know if it was the interferon actually making me very happy.
Does this happen to anyone? It would certainly answer a lot of questions for me.
Thanks
