Incivek (telaprevir) for Hepatitis C: 8 week post treatment, Hep C virus free after 3 weeks on medication. Total of 4 months Hep C free. I am just very grateful to all the work that brought this medication to folks like me.

Incivek (telaprevir) for Hepatitis C: I stopped taking Incivek 3 days ago and I am itching, itching, itching. My eyelids, hands, feet, legs, every area on my body itches. I took a Benadryl and the itching went away and came back. Am I having withdrawals from Incivek? No complaints though, just wondering because this medicine is a miracle. I am now Hep C free. Just hoping the itching would stop soon.

Incivek (telaprevir) for Hepatitis C: My insurance covered almost all of it. The medication works. Hep C undetectable after just 23 days, again at 12 weeks. So far so good. Extreme itching with Incivek withdrawal for 3 days. Scratched my skin until it bled. Ice cold water helped and nothing else. After 3 days, itching was gone. Mentally the Incivek had my brain in a fog for the entire 12 weeks. Had two car wrecks back to back and had to stop driving. Overall I would still highly recommend this medicine due to its effectiveness. What is 12 weeks in comparison to the rest of my life? I am Hep C free.

Incivek (telaprevir) for Hepatitis C: Very very instrumental in helping to remove my Hepatitis C....which it did, along with Pegysys and Rivavirin. I'm virus free as of this date.. maintaining to keep it away.
