Epclusa Side Effects (Page 3)

Hello. I am 16 months post epclusa and feel worse than when I started. I was a server for over 40 years. Full of energy. Then hep c happened. I had epclysa for 12 weeks. Now I am in bed most of the tune from no energy. My ears are ringing. I feel deflated. Anyone else feel like this? My hep c nurse waived off my complaints.

I dealt with hepatitis virus for decades finally got to the point to where my justice system was not working right I was swollen my liver was sore and they came out with eclipsa I was put on it 4 months after the FDA approval side effects the first year were horrendous but it was well worth it I dealt with side effects for almost 3 years now I feel like I'm 17 or 18 again I'm 57 years old it's very important to stop drinking alcohol to eat right and exercise you have a second chance at life and it's well worth it the main thing is you have to eat healthy care about what you put in your body and you will feel wonderful again eventually I still have ear ringing but that's manageable right now I'll feel the best I've ever felt once again the main thing is stop drinking or doing drugs eat healthy exercise and take a nap everyday you might not be able to do the things you did when you were a kid but you will feel like a kid again eventually I'm 3 years since I was cured of hepatitis and liver disease hang in there and care about what you put in your body from now on

Re: Sunshyne (# 17)

Wow! I’m so sorry to hear this and I’ve been reading all these posts because I was approved to start treatment soon although Ive had Hep C since I was in my 20s I’m now 47 and I have not had any issues but was told I can cure it with this medication. But now I am really not sure about doing the treatment with the generic brand of Epclusa

Hi, I am trying to find out what happened to Kathleen. If anyone has any idea please contact me, as Kathleen and I both suffered from post Epclusa ailments and we often shared info, then everything stopped. She was not well, so if anyone can help me in finding out if she is still with us. Thank you

Re: Sunshine (# 49)

I think it depends a lot on your age and how long you had hcv. it worked for me but I had it for a long time plus very hi viral load, a lot of people are cured. good luck 12 weeks goes fast.

It's been 3 years since my epclusa treatment. Over 90.000 for three months.

Good news I no longer have hep c. Bad news I have cirrhosis stage 4. I've had so many problems since epclusa. Trouble sleeping. Inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis. My eyes are so sensitive to light that I have to gradually turn lights on.

Re: Kathi (# 52)

I have similar issues ,IV found drs are not much help as mine gets any info from local liver clinic that promotes doing epclusa,his answer to my problems is usually ," no the experts say Epclusa treatment doesn't cause side effects " mmm I know it's a lie ,becourse my life is hardly worth living thanks to Epclusa ,wish I'd never touched there wonder drug and still had HCV.

Re: Lou (# 53)

Hi. Haven't heard from you for awhile. Glad to know you are still hanging in there.

I'm so frustrated with big pharma. My body has suffered greatly during and after epclusa. Two new diagnosis since then. It has caused my arthritis and my eyes to be very painful. Can't stand light. When I awaken I have to gradually use lights.

I go see eye doctor on the 13th. Hope you are doing better. Still the new person in town?

Think I used my name Kathleen on this site before. Let me know what's happening with your health.

Hey is that Kathleen from Carmichael? If it is I've been trying to contact you forever it seems. Sorry to hear about your eyes. I ended up losing my phone and google somehow messed up my email. So glad if it is Kathleen. Great to hear from you. It's getting hot here in Australia. I have few new problems since Epclusa, lungs, heart, etc. I will tell you more details when I get over the shock.

Hi,you really made my day sorry about the health issues,I was worried about covid 19 ,I don't think our immune system s would cope,I had ASTRAZenica vaccine first shot was ok few extra pains tiredness ect ,but after 2 Nd shot felt terrible really rundown fully congested exhausted more than usual,dr suggested blood test found out vit D deficient (24) why it wasn't picked up that I had vitD problem been seeing this dr for 5 yrs sure he just doesn't care,I've been telling him about being exhausted body jolts just about every day nausea, all signs of vit D low on top of epclusa problems so now I'm supposed to take 4 supplement capsules a day ,I don't like taking ,have you checked your vit D ?

Re: Lou (# 56)

So good to hear from you again Lou.
I was diagnosed with immune system arthritis last year. Started steroids and another drug . Now my eyes are so sensitive to light that I finally see a doctor tomorrow. None of these things happened until epclusa.
I dont know how they get away with doing us like this?
I'm so glad you are hanging in there with me.
I have been asked to do a talk about Epclus at a center here.
I am considering doing so. Will let you know..
Take care lou

It took my husband's life. He had no cancer in blood or CT.
Started Harvoni was clear week 5. They kept him on for 12 weeks. He died 8 weeks later to the day of start (5months). With liver, pancreas and adrenal cancer.
Harvoni killed a strong healthy 235# Pipe fitter
In 5 months. At 160#
Shame on the drug companies and the profit over people.
You'll see what will happen to those who dont get the jab.
Look at Australia.
It's all about profit, control and kill off the sick.
