INCIVEK SIDE EFFECTS

[tiredofhepc]

How long dose it take for the side effect of the Incivek to subside once the doses are completed?

Your right, the 20g of fat every 8 hours was torture!
I dont care if I ever see another jar of peanut butter, muffins, ice cream, etc.
I dreaded the thought of having to eat at all!
Much better now.
Thanks again

I started feeling better within a few days, more noticeably after a week. I was just so happy not to force feed any more! My labs did the usual ups and downs for a while but seem to have settled down now. They are all still not 'normal' by any means...but not dangerously low or high.

For me it did not have an impact on WBC  (mine haven't been horible though); my HGB just went up to 10.0 four weeks after ending Incivek. Not sure if it was due to that or the fact I increased my B complex, B12, vitamin E, and have been able to stomach bee pollen again.

I felt super itchy for about three days after and then felt a rebound in energy.  Mentally, not having to eat all that fat was huge for me!

The Riba & Peg come with their own sides so in my case my Hgb gradually plummeted about a month after the Incivek. My WBC is out of the reference interval but I am no where near rescue med intervention.

Did it affect you guys' lab numbers, for example the hemoglobin or wbc?

I too felt better within a day or two.  I was SUPER happy not to think about what time it was and if I had everything with me to eat on time!  My nausea got a lot better right away too....I still had nausea...but not like on Incivek.

Almost instantly

I am with Pooh. There was a dramatic difference within days on my last dose of Incivek.  The more time that lapses the more I realize how generally c rappy that period was ~ and I didn't have anywhere near the sides lots of other folks had.

Thanks.................I am ready!

I think it varies from person to person. I felt considerably better within a day or two. It was a huge difference for me. Hopefully you will feel better very soon.
