Avatar n tn There is no definitive answer to your question.......no algorithm to compute the exact amount of time it will take YOU to w/d. We are all so incredibly different in how we react to these types of meds. How quickly some of us adjust while others struggle. It also depends on the dosage you were taking, how long you were taking it and how intelligent the doctor is who is designing and guiding your taper. Sorry for such a non-answer. Discuss this with your doctor.
Avatar n tn Is there any other treatment for this disorder? I slso suffer from chronic insomnia, which the cloneazepam helps with.
Avatar m tn thank you for your posts regarding your treatment plans and results. looks like you are heading in the right direction.
1148619 tn?1332010984 Your Dr. can get an TREATMENT ALGORITHM at the Victrelis site. It's a great tool to have. https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.victrelis.com%2Fvictrelis%2Fshared%2Fpdf%2FAINF-1004659-00021.
Avatar n tn considering shorter treatment periods for patients with a rapid virological response (RVR), increasing treatment periods for slow responders, and increasing RBV dose are all suggestions. Results from clinical trials suggest that approximately 20% of the HCV genotype 1-infected population are slow responders, and around 15% of all HCV genotype-1 infected patients could benefit from a shorter treatment duration without compromising the SVR rate.
Avatar f tn If you are HBeAg(+), then AASLD 2007 recommends treatment when HBV-DNA >20000 IU/ml and ALT >2 ULN; EASL recommends treatment when HBV-DNA >2000 IU/ml and ALT >1 ULN; US Treatment Algorithm 2008 recommends treatment when HBV-DNA >20000 IU/ml and ALT >1 ULN.
Avatar m tn Nothing has been shown to retard the growth of gallbladder polyps at this point. The current recommendaiton for polyps in the GB is the same as for other polyps - get them removed. In the case of GB polyps it means having the GB removed since they can't be taken away in any other manner.
Avatar m tn My question today is your thoughts on a new testing algorithm. I know 4th generation testing has been around for a while and that your stance has been that these tests are conclusive at 28 days. Just recently I went to get tested in Massachusetts a month after my last sexual experience. As I know the duo test they perform would be conclusive at that point.
Avatar n tn Your doctor would need know that to assess whether it is good for you on treatment or not.The genotype 2 are the easiest to treat on a 24 week SOC treatment.
Avatar n tn It has been two years after my hysterectomy and I still have severe groin pain.

Avatar n tn I had oral sex with a man over about a month ago. He wore a condom. It was the first time that I had a homosexual experience. While he was very gentle his penis did reach way back in my throat. Afterwards, he put his penis in my butt. About 3-5 days after this encounter I experienced severe pain in the lower to middle region of my throat. Then everytime I exercise the pain gets worse. I've been to the doctor and don't have strep throat. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with me.
Avatar m tn 3D lung reconstruction uses Improved Ray Casting Algorithm which provides information for diagnosing respiratory problems.Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system is also sometime used but these have the same concept of integrating algorithms produced on the CT scans.Im not so sure about the companies which design these software systems.Such highly designed mulitmedia systems come up with preinstalled softwares which are provided by the manufactures of the machinery it self.
Avatar m tn Now, I am confused about this. Considering that this is the main reason I would consider starting treatment, this comes to me a good news (I have viral load just 2500 ui/ml). What do you guys think? Should I redo Fibroscan again?
Avatar m tn HIV Screen 4th Generation wRfx - Reactive (Client Requested Flag See additional algorithm elsewhere in this report) HIV 1 Ab - Negative HIV 2 Ab - Negative HIV 1 RNA Qualitative - Negative Interpretation: Negative Final Interpretation: HIV antibodies were not confirmed and HIV 1 RNA was not detected. No laboratory evidence of HIV 1 infection. Follow-up testing for HIV 2 should be performed if clinically indicated. I'm confused because there is no additional algorithm in the report.
1815939 tn?1377991799 The article contains a treatment algorithm, but it is a chart and I cannot copy and paste it. The treatment algorithm chart gives the details on exactly how long to treat in each given set of circumstances (ie if there is an RVR, if there is not an RVR, if there is insulin resistance or more advanced fibrosis, if the person has a less than 2 log drop at week 12, if the person has a greater than 2 log drop at week 12, if the person is DET at week 24, etc.
Avatar f tn re not already on anti-depressants, they may be recommended before you start treatment as the treatment drugs can make depression worse.
Avatar f tn While reading posts it occurs to me that alot of people are being strung along by those in the medical community who are perhaps afraid to make the diagnosis of MS. What a diservice to so many good people who deserve better. Everyone I know would prefer the diagnosis and begin treatment to being told nothing is wrong. It's a waste of treatment time that you can never get back. After my own journey to a diagnosis, I will say there is hope and no one should give up.
Avatar m tn So let me suggest to you that you keep an open mind and we will provide reams of statistically valid scientific data that support what we say about treatment of hypothyroidism. On the other hand we ask that if you are going to continue to post here and say the same things about TSH and reference ranges, then it is incumbent on you to provide supporting scientific data for that.
Avatar f tn Hi,nice for me to hear that you haven't experinced depression,because I'm going to start my hep treatment tomorrow!! and I'm very very scary.I've been eroin user for years,years ago.I've been self medication with antideppressive for long time and all that let me some kind of swing mood,so I'm scare abaut the side effect of treatment.Never hear abaut people that developed skins prob ,way don't going to see a dermatologist?
2011699 tn?1328933353 A serious potential side effect of Hep C treatment is depression. People who suffer depression while taking treatment, people who have thoughts of suicide or self-harm or people with a family history of depression should be encouraged to access support and counseling. Anyone with a history of depression should be monitored throughout their treatment to make sure that treatment is not causing a major depressive episode.
