Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / October 2004Coughing, and Crying
Suzanne recently posted a funny/true story that included uncontrollable crying. For me, being on the verge of tears was common from the beginning but didn't get out of control until week 12, when I started on a fast-acting antidepressant. I'm just about to jab myself with shot #18 and I almost never feel like crying now except when I'm really really mentally tired (which is after about 2 hours of working.) Question: does the crying come back even if you're taking anti-d's? Also, I've been noticing that I'm developing a wet cough - what comes out is clear and could be just drainage from change-of-season runny nose, it could be from my herb smoking (but that's much less since I've been on the anti-d) or it could be from the tx. Anyone have any experience with it? I'm not worried about infection because it's completely clear and will check with my doc next week when I see him, but I'm thinking this is yet another fun side effect.

I think it is from the riba, but I'm not sure. I sucked on lozengers, hard candy, and something called Hold seemed to help the most. Crying just made my head hurt more, but I did do some of it anyway. Susie oh yea, I had the "cough" too. It went away after tx.

New side effects, one a week. The next seven weeks should be interesting. What I've had to learn to compensate for is that my simple throat clearing can sometimes bring up a big wad of wet stuff. The first time it happened it was like in slow motion - I was talking to someone, turned my head to the side to emit a small cough, and felt this big wad flinging itself from my throat to my mouth to my chin and hang there, swinging. Kind of a conversation stopper. Their quote: "isn't it nice to know that even at your age you can still win a gross-out contest". I now carry tissues and always cover my mouth for even the smallest cough. Gordo <Huge Snip> O.K. Gordo, you have to put a warning on these kind of posts. I don't have a strong stomach in the mornings, never have, but I've been lucky that tx hasn't produced any nausea. Until this morning. Your post was so graphic that I was coughing, gagging, throwing up and crying. My husband was saying oh baby it's just the drugs, and I couldn't tell him it was my SUPPORT GROUP. Thanks a lot. :) Suzanne > .. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > oh baby it's just the drugs, and I couldn't tell him it was my SUPPORT > GROUP. Thanks a lot. :) Oh dear. Very sorry.

Very sorry. I'll be more careful in the future. Nah, just put somewhere that I can't read it until after 10:00 am. <grin> Any other time I would have been howling. Suzanne gordo- When I started tx over a year ago, they put me on 50mg/day of Zoloft. But about 2 months into tx I too had the "crying" jags. Over stupid little thoughts. For instance, I was driving to work one morning and because I hadn't talked to my friend Karen for a couple of days, I had the thought "maybe she was in the hospital, or maybe she had died!!!". I instantly started bawling so hard I had to pull over. the doc raised my Zoloft to 100mg/day and the crying stopped. Then I was just pissed off and ornery for the rest of the tx. But the crying mostly stopped. SignatureRuss Remove "NOSPAM" for replies. > Suzanne recently posted a funny/true story that included uncontrollable > crying.

I forget what silly tv show brought me to tears, but it certainly wasn't worth shedding tears over. (kind of embarrassing, really, and I'm glad noone was around to see me that way. hahah) As far as the cough goes, don't worry much about it unless you start to get a fever along with it. It'll go away when you're done with tx. Elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile > Yeah, I got both those sides too, Gordo.

It'll go away when you're done with tx. Thanks to everyone for the feedback, I'll just tell my doc about it next time I go in, and not worry about it. I have developed the same wet cough and succumb to fits of intertia and weepiness. I also have the shortness of breath thing, too which is transitory and makes be feel as though I should not get into something that would take more than ten minutes of my precious attention to either mess up or whatever. I was wondering about the MJ and cough connection, but I don't smoke a whole lot anyway. Only as required when contemplating feeding. (glorp!) Into shot 4 this coming week. No serious side from that yet. I just eat Tylenol and don't expect to get much done for two days. I now have simplified my morining Ribavirin dosage to eating a bit of cheddar cheese just as I chase that and the capsules with water. I have that persistent gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach, slightly dispepsic. Livable but miserable. Cactus Jammies >> Yeah, I got both those sides too, Gordo.

That was me around the same time. It doesn't get great, but for me at shot 18 I'm nowhere near as miserable. It just didn't pass very quickly, or as quickly as I thought/hoped. > I was wondering about the MJ and cough connection, but I don't > smoke a whole lot anyway. Only as required when contemplating feeding. No connection there for me. I should have had it the whole 17 weeks then. > (glorp!) Into shot 4 this coming week. No serious side from that yet.

I took my Riba on an empty stomach for the first time yesterday (I'm really good about drug protocol, don't want more resistance) and I got that gnawing feeling. It was awful. > Cactus Jammies > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thanks to everyone for the feedback, I'll just tell my doc about it next > > time I go in, and not worry about it. > Suzanne recently posted a funny/true story that included uncontrollable > crying. For me, being on the verge of tears was common from the [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Gordo Gosh, I never realized that the crying was a side effect of treatment. I was crying all the time about stupid stuff. I started avoiding sad tv shows. Didn't matter what it was. Feed the children campaigns, love stories, I was crying all the time. I cry over really sad movies anyway, but it was getting to the point where I couldn't watch much of anything without bawling. I was awfyk,. I thought it was just me. So, now I realize I haven't been doing that for the last month. What a relief that it was temporary. Susie No matter what your political leanings, I think some of us have in common the joy at being in tx during a presidential election period where emotions are running really high. I can't watch the news. It's too difficult. > .. > > Suzanne recently posted a funny/true story that included uncontrollable [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > Newsgroups > ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- The president has the same problem. He can't read the papers. Or won't. >No matter what your political leanings, I think some of us have in >common the joy at being in tx during a presidential election period [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] >> Newsgroups >> ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- Even for those that aren't in treatment, watching the politics on tv is painful. I imagine that if I was still on treatment, I'd be bawling.
