Heya, Bruno,

Ciao--

it took me about 5-6 hours to feel the first injection. Some people feel it a lot sooner though.
Good luck - Dave

The injection itself is not painful. Make sure it the interferon is room temperature before you inject it. You may feel like you have the flu for 1-2 days and get some fever. Some people don't feel sick from it at all though. Don't worry, we all get through it, you will too.

My first shot wasn't painful.  Let the medicine get to room temperature and the alcohol dry on your skin before injecting.  I also injected in my stomach where there was more fat.

I stayed up many hours after the first shot and did not feel any effects.  The pills are what makes it hard to sleep, so always try to take them earlier.

Good luck!
