Sofosbuvir for Hepatitis C "I have four days left of treatment, which has been for six months. The side effects have been mental for me. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood swings, irritability, and rage all come and go randomly. The virus was undetected at four weeks, and this is my first treatment.

For Hepatitis C "I have been on medication for 2 months now, and I'm feeling fatigued, memory fog, brain fog, achy muscles, extreme lower back pain, but not able to get around very well due to muscles aching and cramping, also nausea and irritability, depression. I am willing to stick out the last month so I can make sure that it does what it's supposed to do and cure the hepatitis C."
