Just started on Vic on Friday. Besides the amount of pills one mush take, I can't seem to get over the nasty after taste. Really chemical like/poison like aftertaste. oh well, poison to the virus I hope. So my question is this: it says take with food, but is it necessary to take with 20g of fat, or is that only for incivek?
Anyone else starting this stuff?

Best of luck to you frijole and to everyone else about to start. It really hasn't been that bad (yet).
I, like everyone, just need this stuff to work. I have a great family and a beautiful baby girl that I have no intention of leaving early. I don't even care if my hair falls out, my belly becomes a pin cushion, and my blood gets poisoned by these meds...whatever it takes. I would even give my left testicle if I though it would help. It seems to be the one I always sit on anyway.

cbw - I am about to start triple treatment with VIC in a week or so.  Looks like we are in the minority for sure.  I will be watching your progress closely.  Having some good friends on this forum treat successfully with the VIC was a big factor in my decision.

cbw36......... Don't recall the excat numbers but i do know it was not a 2 log drop at week 4, maybe 1 and a half..... But 2 weeks with VIC. and i was und.

Willing........:) My wife wishes i would spend more time out in the woods. You know a funny thing, every response from the women was a HUGE YES, loud and clear they say were always wrong....... Try and figure woman........ I dare ya.

my starting VL was 2.65 million, at the end of week four lead-in it was 69,800. Not great, but hopefully good enough. I was und at week 10.

yeah, success stories are great, You have to wonder about the post-tx effects though. Seems cando has been out in the woods talking to himself lately. Could it be the VIC?

That's awesome news guys. Success stories are
so motivating. I wish you luck on svr, sounds very very promising. Did you both have a good response to lead in with peg/riba? I will know my 4 wk results soon. I hear a log drop greatly increases odds of success.
