Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I started Epclusa on May 18th, 2021. I am supposed to be done in August, so I have been taking it for about a month and a half now. In the beginning, I was okay. I could tell that the medicine was fighting the virus, but after a month and a half of taking it daily, I feel extremely tired and my body hurts, making it hard to get out of bed every morning. My only thoughts on this are because maybe my body is just tired from fighting for over a month. I have a little depression, but I think that's because I don't feel like myself and I can't do as much as I used to do. I find myself resting a lot. I am grateful I was approved for this medication, and my liver is back to normal from before I had HCV 8 years ago. My advice: just keep pushing forward. I do have to say, I am ready for the 12 weeks to be over. All my positive vibes to everyone who has to go through this treatment. It's doable and definitely worth the side effects."

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."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I have been experiencing fatigue, nausea, exhaustion, but unable to sleep, extreme appetite loss to the point that I don't eat for days, and my stomach shrinks. Have issues defecating. I can't wait to week 12, I'm currently only on week 4. It has been debilitating that I can't work and am fighting disability, so I have no income, unable to pay rent, food, buy any clothing, and am gaining a lot of weight."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I started Epclusa in March 2023. I have only a few side effects - I'm always tired, have no energy, and am emotional. Those are the only three things that are bothersome to me, but as I see it, 20+ years of having Hep C genotype 2b, these small bumps are fine. Will check back in when I have finished my 3 months. Hold in there, folks, it's not that bad. I know everyone's side effects will be different."
