shot #1

Getting ready to start Triple TX with Incivek soon.  From what I've read the three medications should be started at the same time.  
Does this mean all 3 meds are started later that night with shot #1, or start the Riba/Incivek in the AM, and the shot in the PM?

I am only on Dual, but per my doctor, I started Rib in the AM and did my shot and Rib again that night.

I've read here that some people slightly stager their rib and Inc so they don't take them at the same time to help with nausea.

I took my shot the night before and started medication the next morning per my doctor, so it was not such a major shock to the body all that medication at once.
