Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I have been on Epclusa for 1 week now. I don't know how long I've had hep C, but in a week I can already tell my brain doesn't feel so clouded. I'm having headaches, but nothing besides those few side effects. I hope that's all I have, other than that, I overall feel better already."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I am on my 10th week, I should have been done 2 weeks ago. At first, I was doing good, taking it every day on time. I should have been eating better when taking this medication: fruits, veggies, white meat, fish, lots of water - which I do not drink. I have headaches in my temple. On the right side, my ears ring, my vision is a little blurry, my neck hurts, my arms feel heavy. I am super calm but irritated and depressed. I keep starting to think that something is medically wrong with me. I am stumbling on my words, I get jerks when relaxed. I talked a lot before and haven't been communicating so much. I am quiet and seem to be in deep thought. I haven't been thirsty, but my mouth is dry, I get a bad taste in my mouth. My skin is clearing up 100%, I'm impressed. At bedtime, I seem to get in bed and lay still and quiet, I fall asleep fast and wake up about twice. I'm not peeing so much due to the non-intake of liquids. I am an addict and have slowed way down on my use, as well as the Coca-Cola, and to top it off, I have not had any blood tests done yet."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "On my 9th week of a 12-week course and have had headaches, and I was getting tired at first, but that is passing, and I'm getting more energy than I had before I started the course. Still have the gnawing headaches, but it comes and goes. Overall, it’s been uneventful and a far cry from the old cure they had that a friend of mine still gets hallucinations years after his treatment."

For Hepatitis C "I puked on Day 1 and 2. Great start, hey? Depression increased, had lots of headaches, etc. Dangerously low platelets due to the Ribavirin. Eventually had to stop the Ribavirin and got real paranoid about it. Well, imagine the gigantic smile on my face when I got the report that HCV was not detected in my blood! I even missed the Epclusa several days. For me, well worth the side effects."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I have been taking Epclusa for one month now. I have had very few side effects, only tiredness. The tired feeling doesn't last all day. Usually, a nap will get me feeling better. I have only had a headache a few times. I am really glad I have been able to continue to work."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I just started this medication on Saturday, January 14, 2023. I’ve had headaches, but I also had them before I started taking the medicine. I did forget my meds this morning, I think, so I took one. I have throat and stomach issues, so I’m hoping that I will be able to get through this!"
