For Hepatitis C "I have genotype 1 Hep C. I have had it for 8 years. I am starting my 4th week of treatment. The first few days, I noticed that my mind seemed foggy, and my eyes were blurry even with my glasses on. I actually had energy up until week 3. I have been very tired, and it has been hard to focus. I have had terrible insomnia since about the second week that has only gotten worse. I am very tired, but the insomnia intensifies the fogginess and fatigue. I've noticed that I get a little nauseated, and my stomach hurts for a couple of hours after the meds, but then it goes away. I hope this helps."

For Hepatitis C "I have had Hep C 1a for 47 years. I started Zepatier 4 weeks ago. The only side effects have been sleep disturbances, frequent waking, occasional body itchiness, insomnia, nightmares, and generally disturbed and unrestful sleep. This has worsened during weeks 3 and 4. I go tomorrow morning for the results of recent blood tests. I am expecting that the virus will be cleared, and I will settle in for the next 3 months. I highly recommend Zepatier, especially after not being able to tolerate Interferon/Ribavirin treatment six years ago."
