Symptoms vary greatly from person to person.It also depends on what drugs you are taking.The regimes differ depending on what geno type you are.

All drugs list side effects that usually go way beyond the scope of what most experience. It protects  them from legal action.

Good luck on getting started.

The biggest side ef
fect I get is fatigue and mine comes and goes. I can feel great all morning then about An hour after my incevik I get run down but usually come back after about an hour. I've been on triple therapy for 5 weeks now. I've been lucky so far all my levels are still good and I was und at 4 weeks. So people go through it and get no sides and some get all, you really don't know until you start. Good luck if you have any questions just ask. Joe

It's hard to tell how a person will be affected.  I have a decent size list of sx but on the other hand, there are many that I did not get - no anemia so I count myself very lucky. As crappy as this can get at times, you can get through it.  I have worked full time the entire time - finishing up week 21 of 24.  Do what everyone advises - drink plenty of water, stay out of the sun, take Vitamin D if you need it, rest.  Good luck
