New Treatment Genotype 1b

Hello everyone,
Two years ago I was on Interferon, incivec and ribaverin treatmen. After three month I failed. I had severe anxiety, depression, itching and etc. It was very disappointing because I was virus free after 3 weeks. ( Genotype 1b).
I'm planning to start a new therapy without interferon. Does anyone who undergo new treatment experienced any  severe side effects? I have doctors appointment on August 20.  I really scared. Last time I was unable to function.
Please share your experience.

I treated for 12 weeks of Sovaldi Olysio. I had really no side effects maybe a mild headace? Others have reported some symptoms but for the most part nothing in camparision with the old interferion ribavirin treatments.

You should be fine no worries just kick the dragons butt!
