For Hepatitis C "Just finishing my first week. I feel great. I have a hard time taking any prescription drugs, but not this one. I'm so grateful! I started a light workout in the morning to get awake, cause I am a little sleepy lately. Has anyone else been feeling a little depressed? I think it's just anxiety about all this. But I'm very optimistic!"

For Hepatitis C "I had hep C for 50 years but only noticed it the last years of that 50. I took Mavyret for 2 months. It cured me the first month but required taking another month. I felt extreme fatigue, extreme thirst, extreme hunger, and weakness. I lifted weights for most of my adult life but now can't lift much. I was walking 4 miles a day before taking it and had brain fog, depression, and anxiety. Almost a year since the last dose. Now fatigue is less, still extremely thirsty, extreme hunger gone, energy slowly improving. Now walking 3.9 miles a day. Finally sleeping well but still get depressed. My diet is 85% plant-based and 15% animal, so I still have muscles. Sometimes my digestion isn't good, and there is heartburn, so I take probiotics and that takes care of it. I look forward to lifting weights again and I'm 69. Mavyret was scary to take."

For Hepatitis C "I just finished my first week of an 8-week treatment. I have had some depression and tiredness with this medication. The worst side effect so far has been pain in my upper back and feet. After the first 4 days, it seemed to not be as bad. Nothing Tylenol or ibuprofen hasn't taken care of. Will update in week 4."

For Hepatitis C "On day 36. Real fatigue and dehydrated. Bones and muscles hurt all over my body. My energy is coming back, but cardio is horrible. Very depressed, even deleted Twitter and Facebook. I'm laying down at least 20 hours a day right now. I have no appetite, so I forget to eat sometimes, but once I eat, I overeat lol. Overall, I do feel like I'm cured. I have had hep C 16 years, I'm 34 years old. If I'm cured, I highly recommend this pill, if I'm not, no, it's not worth taking. You literally feel so, so sick. So, if I'm cured, I rate a 10. If I'm not cured, I rate negative 10."

For Hepatitis C "I’m nearly at the six-week mark, all good, and the virus was cleared after 4 weeks, but I’ve been really depressed. Has anyone else had this problem?"
