Just started Baraclude (entecavir)

[Balouce]

Hello! I tested positive to Hepatitis B in January 2016. The last time I had tested for it was in 2014 and I didn't have the virus back then. Unfortunately, my doctor said it was chronic, even though I had 95% chances not to become chronic, since I was 24 years old when I got the disease. One month and half ago, I started taking Baraclude 0,5mg indefinitely. My doctor keeps saying that I should not get scared, but it's impossible.

Right here, she wanted me to take Baraclude, so I asked for the government, but they denied me, saying that interferon was the first option for me.

After this test, I tried to get peg-interferon, but the government said they didn't have it any more.

After this test, I told my doctor that I didn't want to wait for the government any more, so if she thought that I had to take Baraclude, I would buy it with my own money. She then prescribed me and I started taking it on 05/07/2017. In the beginning of September, as soon as I finish my second box, I will get tested again.
I've never been to any other doctor to get a second opinion, so I would like to know from you if Baraclude is really the best option for me. Also, I would like to know what you think of my tests, since my AST and ALT began to go down naturally - with no medicine at all -, even though my HBV DNA was higher than the last time, as well as what does my Anti-HBs + means in a practical way.
Thank you very much!

Can you please help with an info? From did you bought Baraclude? Did you procured it online and if so, from what country? I seen that are many brands for this Baraclude, which one are you using?

I too contracted it in age 24 and feel myself helpless daily to get rid of this curse. It's torturous!
