I became a non-responder after 42 weeks of treatment. I have been off the
meds for about a week and I find that I feel worse now then when I was on
the meds. I had very few sides when on tx.

Has anyone else had this experience?

I felt worse in the first few days off tx.  By the third week I
started to notice feeling a bit better though and things gradually
improved from then onwards.  Bear in mind these drugs are designed to
stay around in the body for a while as that's how they work.

Sorry to hear that the treatment didn't work for you.

Not me but you're not the first that has complained of this.  It does
take a while to recover from those meds.

Greetings Bob,

I'm really sorry for your relapse. That must have been crushing. When I
found I relapsed from my first round of tx I was devastated. I think I know
how you felt.

When I finished my second round in February it took some time to begin
feeling better. I swear after a month being off the tx I was feeling worse.
Over the next few months I've gradually felt better and better.

I think you may be going though the same adjustments that I went through as
well.

I hope you feel better soon bob, and I surely hope you can do tx again and
beat this thing.
