Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "I've been on Harvoni one week. The side effects has been slight headache but severe exhaustion. I'm so tired I can't think. I hope that ends soon so I don't become a couch potato over the next eleven weeks. Regardless of the tiredness, I'm so grateful for this medicine. Over the years, I was told Hep. C had no symptoms but now I know better, as the many symptoms I suffered are slowly subsiding."

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "I hope people will find that my experience brings hope: I've had Hep C since around 1970. Was treated (interferon ribavirin Incevik) 3 times unsuccessfully. Progressed all the way to major cirrhosis and, gasp, liver cancer. Very grim outlook. BUT, I got lucky--I got a liver transplant in Nov. '14 and am doing great. Very good prognosis, feel fine. And right now, I am about 3 months into Harvoni tx and finally am clear of virus for the first time. My point is--Don't give up hope. I had myself mentally dead and buried and experienced 180 degree turnaround. Yes, I had an incredibly lucky break that not everyone gets, but there is a LOT of Hep C research going on, and new meds in the pipeline. Hang in there and don't bum yourself out."

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "I contacted hep c 30 yrs ago and found out that my liver wasn't doing so good. Quit drinking and all the dumb stuff 25 years ago. And been jogging gym every other day trying to take care of my liver. Well my liver was early stage 4 fibrosis. So I had to get treatment fast. I started Harvoni 9 weeks ago 3 more to go. And 0 side affects. I drink over a gallon of water per day and still visit the gym jog and play baseball on the weekends. My anxiety level was so awe-full about starting harvoni. I postponed it for 30 days and when decided to take the first pill I drove down to the hospital sit in the parking lot encase something happens..lol..lol. And it never did. So my advise is don't be like me. Swallow the pill. because its not bad at all."

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "I contacted Hep C sometime between 1970-1985, so I had it for a long time before I knew I was infected.. I tried 1 round of treatment but it did not clear the virus and I was really tired and cranky all the time. I completed the Harvoni treatment this past May and when I did the follow-up in October I was still virus free. The only side effect I noticed was about 9 days after I started it I felt like I had more energy than I'd had for the last 10 years!"

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "Just completed 12 weeks of harvoni two days ago. Had many side effects while on it, sudden sky high blood pressure which I never had before. dizziness, vertigo, severe insomnia. However now that I have completed the medicine I feel incredible. like I've been born again. Overall I would say if you can get through the side effects and stress of dealing with insurance then go for it. I will have to see in 3 months if they killed the hep c completely but in the meantime I am going to enjoy every healthy beautiful new day."

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "Worst experience of my life!! I am so sorry I took it!!! I started out feeling great, more energy, then about 7 weeks in developed cardiac issues, had to wear a heart monitor. Developed dangerously high blood pressure, and became bed bound. I am now 10 weeks off of it, and am still feeling awful. I feel as though the life in me has been sucked out. I go for my SVR 12 in two weeks, however the results do not even matter to me, I just want my life back, my health back, this drug was horrible. "

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "I attempted 4 previous Pegasys related treatments in the past 12 years.The last one in 2012 also involved Incivik whose side effects actually resulted in my need to receive a live Liver transplant from my wife on 3/1/13. I began my Harvoni treatment on 3/18/15 and as of my 4 week appointment, the virus has been reported "Undetectable!" My side effects were headaches and an upset stomach for the first 3 days... but that was it."

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "On my 5th week of 12. Because of the slight nausea, I found it eased up if I eat supper a few hours before I take the medication. Taking it at night before I go to bed has been working very well for me as it makes me tired [sure gonna miss the sleep aid when treatment is over!]. Occasionally I've felt a slight headache; drinking water usually takes it away with no additional medication. I 'play' with my diet to eliminate bowel problems and a daily walk also seems to help. My current lab shows it's working!!"

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "I'm still in shock. No relapse this time. This was my fourth try at getting rid Hep C. Harvoni was by far the easiest in terms of side effects. I took for 12 weeks trouble sleeping and headaches were my mild reactions to the drug. I was diagnosed in 2001. I suspect I was infected in the mid 70's. This disease has been a constant reminder of my poor choices in my youth. I hope the guilt and shame I sometimes feel will abate. I did not want to die from this leaving my family the knowledge i died of a self administered disease. I quit drinking (30 years February 1 2016) and believe this helped keep me healthy until this medical miracle. Peace, Mark"

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "Today I got my 3 month follow-up blood test and it came back undetected! I am cured, I was a stage 2 so my liver will fully recover. This virus has been with me almost all my life, 45 years and I consider it a miracle how easy it was to cure. I feel great and one thing I know is that whatever kills me, it won't be my liver. I wish you all the same cure results."

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "I got Hep C from a blood transfusion in the 70's and really didn't have any problems until last fall when my liver functions went crazy, the doctor suggested Harvoni but it was impossible for me financially. The doctor was able to get me assistance and I began treatment on 10/14/15. The first few weeks were difficult, I experienced confusion, upset stomach, fatigue and mild headaches. After 3 weeks or so the side effects eased up, especially the brain fog, and I discovered eating something sweet helped a lot with the stomach problems. The side effects for the rest of the time, on a scale of 1 to 10, I would describe it as a 3 or 4 and would do it again if I had to. Today (1/14/16) I got the results, it is undetectable! What a relief!"

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "Contracted Hep C in late teens. No symptoms until in my 50s (year 2000). Went on Interferon & Ribavirin for all of 2001. Brutal drug regimen with daily shots to go with it. Lost 40 pounds while eating 3 times my usual calorie intake. Basically like having the flu accompanied with diahrea and bizarre emotional effects. Anxiously awaited a drug that could cure Genotype 4 and would be paid by my insurance. My excellent liver specialist and his care team pushed hard and got me approved. Started taking Harvoni 1st week at 5pm in case I had bad reaction didn't want to be sick during the work day. Experienced increased insomnia but no other side effects so switched to mid morning breaktime with food and problem gone. I am extremely grateful!!"

Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) for Hepatitis C "Well, I can't say that it was easy. The thing that bothered me most was lack of sleep. Being tired all the time didn't help either. I have 1 pill left and glad it is over. I am 63 years old and retired 5 years ago because of hep c. At week 4 it was undetectable. Had to take it for 12 weeks. I am a Vietnam era vet so that is probably where I caught it. If I am truly cured then the first thing I am going to do is go back to work. Retirement is very boring and now that I have all of this energy I am sure that I would go nuts. Some people had no side effects, as you can see I was not among the lucky ones. It was worth the torment to be free of Hep C."
