Ribavirin 200mg Capsules 42s – Has anyone experienced severe side effects or benefits from this medication?

I am on it right now, and I'm feeling pretty crappy. I get bad headaches sometimes but I don't have the flu-like symptoms yet. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time.

Just be aware that it affects your mood, too. I felt really depressed during treatment and had some pretty dark thoughts. It scared me, but my doctor helped me through it. So definitely talk to your doctor about this.

Take care of your health, too, since you're already battling the virus. Eat well, get enough sleep, and try to stay active if you can. It's tough, but it helps. I found a good support group online that made a huge difference for me. You’re not alone in this.

I spoke to my doctor about the suicidal thoughts side effects. He was aware of it but also said it was rare. I was advised to have my family keep an eye on me just in case.

I took Ribavirin a few years back, and it was tough on my body. The fatigue and flu-like symptoms were the worst. But the key is always to keep your doctor in the loop, so they can monitor your blood work and adjust the treatment if necessary. I remember having weird symptoms that ended up being a mild case of pneumonia, so definitely keep an eye on any unusual stuff. Stick to the game plan and focus on recovery.

I was on it for 6 months and I have to admit, it was hell. I was on the Rope of a panic attack once due to confusion and lost vision. But the doctor said it was okay, it was just the side effects. So yeah, it sucks, but it's worth it if it works.

I had some pretty bad flu-like symptoms and anxiety during the treatment. But took it easy and got through it. I actually found that some herbal tea helped with the flu-like symptoms.

This medication literally saved my life and my liver. I know the side effects are scary, but you have to weigh the pros and cons. It’s a tough journey, but you can do it!

Ribavirin for 6 months. Guess it worked. Finally tested negative this week. I can't believe I'm done with it. But yes, it was hell on wheels.

I was on Ribavirin 3 years ago for a year and lost all my hair and felt really sick, but it worked. I am cured now. Still have an occasional headache, but I guess that’s the price of living. It's all worth it.
