For Hepatitis C "I am on my 5th week of the 8-week treatment of Mavyret. I am also on 140 mgs of methadone as well. The side effects I've experienced are nausea, anxiety, slight headache, and tiredness. I've been taking my medication in the morning with breakfast, and within a few hours, I feel tired and nauseous. After reading the reviews on here, I am going to change my time and take it at bedtime, and maybe that will help. Otherwise, I am very hopeful and am staying positive to beat this hep C. Thanks, everyone, for your posts."

For Hepatitis C "Mavyret for 6 weeks, horrific fatigue, sleeping easily 18/24, constant nausea, headaches, and brain fog. Usually walk 5 km a day and work out. 10 min walk exhausted, unable to work out - need to sleep. Swelling on the right side of my throat, (convinced it’s Mavyret, diagnosed with a cyst via CAT scan,) awoke 5 weeks into treatment with constant irritation and swelling feeling in the right side of my throat, continued with treatment but stopped at 6 weeks. Don’t believe in coincidence, no medical professionals can tell me how an almost 3 cm fluid-filled cyst grew so quickly. Awaiting blood tests. In Australia, treatment is free. Praying Hep C has gone. I found this treatment very debilitating and although you look okay, people don’t necessarily hear what you are saying regarding side effects, medical professionals are very light on information and minimize real side effects. Good luck to everyone on treatment. Be kind to self. You may be one of the blessed ones with few side effects. Just be aware and do research…for yourself."

For Hepatitis C "I started Mavyret 4 weeks and a few days ago, so I am a little over halfway through. (I was given an 8-week prescription.) I am a 34-year-old woman. I am not sure how long I have had Hep C, but it has been 5 years or less. I had zero liver damage when tested. My experience with Mavyret has been not too bad, some days I feel completely normal and fine, other days I feel like I was hit by a bus, body aches, super tired, no energy, nauseous, and I have had diarrhea as well. All in all, the side effects have been tolerable. I am hoping when I am finished with the 8 weeks, I will no longer have to deal with the side effects of this medication."

For Hepatitis C "Day 3, very hopeful. Side effects not so bad. Stomach cramps a little. Minimal nausea. If this is all the side effects, it'll be a piece of cake."
