never thought I hear this---- I miss my incivek.

[toby47]

Only for one thing --- sleep. seems everytime i took the inc and riba together I could knock off a couple hours of sleep. now with the itch its very elusive.atarax, zyrtec,1.5 ambien all I could manage was 2hr 40 min, not all at once. Any body having problems after incivek sleeping? If so what do you do ?

This is one of those dilemas that are funny but not funny.  I am on incivek and I notice that it enhances alot of other medications (at least they warn about it in their literature)  So, perhaps (not a doc here) while your body gets rid of the Incivek you should take something to help you sleep.  Thank you for this question, I am sure I will hve a similar "problem" in 4 weeks and I appreciate you asking this question
Good luck

p.s. melatonin, calcium, benedryl seem to help me sleep

Its probably your 2nd dose of ribavirin. You can take it earlier in the day. What time are you taking it? It does not need to be taken at a specific time and many doctors will tell their patients to take it earlier if sleep is an issue.

Make sure that the antihistamine you're taking doesn't have a decongestant included.  I've taken Zyrtec D prior to bed a few times and stared at the ceiling for hours.
