Riba post treatment side effects

I have done a lot of research about post treatment side effects but they are all about Interferon + Riba

Is is too early for there to be data available about post side effects from Harvoni and Riba?

I think my doctor thought that I should feeling great right now - I think I thought so too but I can't find anything studies showing post treatment sx and I am Not feeling great - better though...

8 weeks post treatment...

It takes 6 months for Ribavrin to be out of your system.   Doctors never claim there is any effect of treatment.   Not sure exactly why but they don't.

I would post this on the "Hepatitis Coummunity" forum.   This forum is for those 6 months past treatment.   There would be lots more that have finished treatment on Harvoni.  Also, post on the "Cirrhosis of the Liver" forum.  
Your right that the results of Harvoni are new.  All effects of treatment are relatively unknown.   There only appears to be one posting of failure of Harvoni on Medhelp "Hepatitis C Community".   Also take a look at the "Hepatitis Social".   There is Harvoni post treatment effects on that forum.
