Harvoni Side Effects Anyone?

I ask this because overall, I don't feel much, but this morning I woke up with a headache, which is very rare for me. I believe one of the side effects can be a headache. I also notice my hands slightly shaking since starting Harvoni. Anyone experience this? Just curious as to what others are going through.

I know this is a new type of treatment, but it would be helpful and put people at ease if others are experiencing the same effects. Otherwise, people could freak out and think something worse is happening to them. Something worse than watching a Justin Beiber video if that's possible...

I do have abdominal cramps but I just take Bentyl, it is worse since I have been taking Harvoni, but since I also have diverticulistis, hard to tell which is causing the pain but it seems to be the Harvoni since it is a different kind of pain, Deborah

I am on day 80 of Harvoni, , 88 days to go, chief complaint besides short temper, but not all the time, just unusual for me, is insomnia, I do take the melatonin but think I was taking too much cause they doubled my anti-rejection med, so think it boosted my immune system too much. I am now untraceable as  far as the hep c virus goes, so that is good, lOve it that I have it on the run, Just anxious to get this behind me. How is everyone else doing?, Deb RN

I know I sound like a broken record, but drink more water.

Also, someone posted, on here, or hepC or hepc post treatments, that they cut out his(I think?)  sugar intake and and his headaches went away.

Can't hurt to try.

I also had vision problems which cleared up after treatment was done, BUT I was ol Sol/Riba, not Harvoni.

Good luck.
