I bought a pill holder for am and pm and keep it right on the counter....I count out a week at a time, easier this way not to forget.

What week are you on? The first 24 weeks are the most important to take the full dose. The docs want to hit the virus hard at first. I did the opposite and took too many doses by mistake and got very sick to my stomach. It stays in your body awhile so you will probably be OK. I just hope you are past the 24th week.

The best way to achieve SVR is to stick to your medication schedule.  I'm not saying you won't make SVR but you need to do a better job remembering to take your medicine.
