i was a little sick 2 hours after the shot.... got so sick about 2 hours ago....and then took 2 hits from some pot...that helped a lot..with all the sx....it was really something.....i did start up smoking a little pot a couple months ago in prep for tx...also went on zoloft a couple months ago in prep...i'm really glad i did that prep..some years ago i quit drinking and wouldn't do any drugs...that was a stupid mistake that almost killed me...i wonder how long you have to hold the meds down for them to be effective.?.....fyi...i'm geno 1.....doing triple therapy..telapivir .....vl was 10 million a couple months ago...liver enzymes in the 200s.....last biopsy was 2/2.............  billy

Wish you the very best in your tx. We all know what your going thru and its not easy to say the least..I never thought I would make it my 55 weeks of tx but I wanted it so bad I did it.
For me besides the sickness, fatigue, mood swings and so on the toughest part was having patience..Hang on, and hang in. Be positive and know your doing what you must do.
all the luck

Hey - sorry you are sick and that the rest of it goes well?   What do you mean "hold it down?"  Did you vomit?    I found it settled better to take it with ice cream or fat. Saltines and ginger ale were necessities as well.  Best of luck, Anne
