For Hepatitis C "My husband had Hep C genotype 1a. He is 57. We got the diagnosis 5 years ago. They think he has had this for at least 25 years. He got a tattoo out in Sturgis at a raunchy bar. No needle use. That being said, he wasn't a good candidate for previous treatment until Zepatier came along. We were so happy and grateful this medication came along and was covered by our insurance. After 2 weeks his viral load was at 0 and his blood work was normal with all liver tests. He had severe joint pain while taking this medication. He has been off of Zepatier for two weeks now, he feels worse than he ever had in his life. Severe fatigue, weakness, no appetite, joint pain, and depression. I can honestly tell you, he would not have taken this medication."

For Hepatitis C "I have 17 days left on a 12-week study. I got the medications free as I am on a study comparing Zepatier and Harvoni. I take the Zepatier. I don't have my blood drawn until the end of 12 weeks. Initially, I thought I had a placebo. Into week 6, I experienced headaches, fatigue, hives, heartburn, hair loss, dry mouth, constipation, diarrhea, weakness, and irritability."

For Hepatitis C "It worked and was easy to take. I drank plenty of water and took it in the morning. Ever since, I have very weak muscles, cannot stand or walk. I don't know if it was an underlying condition that was nowhere near as bad before or if Zepatier somehow caused it. I am grateful I am not dying. Now I realize I have muscle, joint, and breathing problems, swollen lymph nodes, and fever. I always thought all my symptoms were hep C. Apparently not, though, as I still have most of them. I recommend Zepatier, as it is best to get rid of hep C if you can. Zepatier is better than Harvoni, which gave me a heart attack."
