Had BAD headaches in beginning of tx. Now too but not as severe. Advil does the trick or an Aleve.
Take Care
i think some treating have headaches, most often for me the day after my shot and perhaps the next day too. i agree that it can be a common side effect. like any side effect though, just let your doctor know.

I get headaches in the morning too and find that two Advil do the trick and I usually do not have to take anymore until the next day. I am coming up on my 3rd shot this Friday. I also drink a lot of water during the day. I was drinking it up until I went to bed but found I was up every hour at night going to the bathroom so I stop drinking it now after 7:00 pm and start up again the next morning.
I'm on week 38-- and I've had headaches about every day since starting treatment..starting in the morning... I drink a ton a water a day.. but I usually have to take 2 tylenol extra strength in the morning to get rid of the headache...
Doc seems to think that's ok .... it takes care of the headache usually within 10 min..
I don't seem to get them anymore throughtout the day... If I do...I take some more...
See what your doc says..
It does tell you in the "side affects" information that headaches are common from riba & peg...

I never heard of that before (especially while on tx) but..
If that regime works - it seems you are cleaning out the meds
you are putting in that will help your liver.
Maybe try and drink just water and see how you feel.
Also try and drink half your body weight in ounces and adjust your intake from there.
Water really does help ease the sx from tx with headaches being one of them.
