Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "Finished Epclusa treatment, and the second blood test was negative. I have to wait until I have insurance for the third and final blood test. I do have cirrhosis. The worst side effect is exhaustion. Be sure to eat with the medication and drink plenty of water. It works! The tiredness is worth it. I'm starting to build up a little more energy. Coffee made me miserable with the meds. Good luck!"

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I was diagnosed with Hep C 10 years ago. I was an IV meth user for 20 years. I took the first treatment of shots, which was absolutely horrible, but made it through. I was Hep C free. Then, stupid me, had a major relapse for two years. Well, I'm now Hep C positive yet again. I am on my third week of Epclusa. I'm tired, weak, nauseous, and depressed somewhat. But that is the medicine fighting the virus. My numbers are coming down. My doctor has said that with this treatment, my liver will eventually recover. I was almost in stage 3 cirrhosis. My numbers are already coming down to close to stage 2. I am so grateful for this chance to live a longer life with my family. I am now 3 and a half years totally clean from everything. So, yes, I can do this for three months to spend a lifetime with my family."

Sofosbuvir / velpatasvir for Hepatitis C "I was diagnosed with hepatitis C genotype 3 in early 2017. After jumping through hoops, I was approved for Epclusa at little cost to myself. I remember the first few weeks being tired and having a bit of a headache. Beyond those symptoms, I had a relatively smooth experience. I had follow-up lab work a week, 1 month, and 3 months post-medication, and the virus was no longer detectable in my blood. For reference, in 2018, I was a 105 lb female aged 27. I had little to no cirrhosis. I went on to have a healthy pregnancy and baby in 2019, with no complications to my child whatsoever in reference to the hepatitis. Overall, I would take it again if given the chance over again."

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 "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."
