Harvoni @ 2+ Weeks

I started Harvoni a little over 2 weeks ago. The only side effect I've noticed is fatigue. Fatigue and feeling confused at times and under motivated. The Harvoni is costing me $5/28 days.. good insurance and some help from Gilead. I have cirrhosis and had a walnut sized cancer removed from my liver. Fortunately no metastasis was found! Recovery from the surgery took 5 weeks. Indeed the surgery allowed some liver regeneration so I've got more liver than Is started with. The fatigue is troubling, I get tired during the day but energized during the evening and don't want to get up in the morning. If you have liver damage you shouldn't be paying $1000/pill. If you have HepC1a and don't have liver damage and can't get a break on the Harvoni cost, shame on the industry. This is an example of whats wrong with medicine-for-profit.

Hello, Chemrox! How are you doing? I'm very glad that you're doing so well, now.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Harvoni as possibly including diarrhea, headache, nausea and trouble sleeping.

Have you experienced any of the others?

And yes, I agree. Medication prices can be outrageous. I recently went to pick up a couple medications that I take and found the price was over double what I'd been paying, it's ridiculous.

Are there any questions or concerns?
