Harvoni Day 1
(Preview)
Today I took my first pill. I took it with food "breakfast" as the pharmacist suggested. She said it might cause sleeplessness so not to take it at night. There is a long list of medication not to take with it. Here's to all of your first days on Harvoni. Dragon? take THAT! Jen

All done! 5th time is a charm I hope! This board has been so important to me throughout the years - good people exist! Questions for my crew: I still have about three weeks of Ribavirin left - I have no side effects with it - should I take it while the Harvoni leaves my body?

I have had allergic reactions to meds in the past, so I guess it is common that I will react this way when I start medications of any kind. My fight or flight kicks in. I hate it! I want to finish the Tx so bad. It's only 8 weeks! I a...

Cant stop crying!!!

I have been an Harvoni now for 2 weeks and this morning I woke up very emotionalcan't stop crying! Song, commercial or even just talking to someone triggers it. I usually am NOT a crier, so this is VERY unusual for me. Please tell me that this is a normal side effect of treatment and that it passes!

Hi everyone, I took my first dose of Harvoni today at 9 am, no side effects noticed today, but I am sure I will. Kind of ironic that I started treatment on my clean and sober anniversary date (17 years alcohol and drug free today). Woot Woot. Will keep you guys posted. : )
