Hi Ken. I'm at 6 months post and still NOT fully recovered from tx. I'm getting there. My labs all look "normal". But I still feel low, although I feel each week is getting better. It's just a lot slower than I expected. I have heard from people who said it was a year before they really got it all together. I think I'm in that category, unfortunately.

All the Best.
Mark

Interferon has the longest half-life.  Takes 6 months for that one to clear your system.

Hi Ken, are you asking how long it will take to recover now you`ve finished tx?  As with most things to do with Hep C it varies, and some people will find they start noticing a difference within the first couple of weeks, although it often takes a month or longer to start feeling better.  The effects of the ribavirin on the red blood cells takes about 6 months to completely get back to normal but you should start getting your energy back within the first 2 or 3 months post tx, or maybe earlier.  

How are you feeling now?  ~ Jill

How long does it take for the drugs to get out of your system?
