REPORT

I have been on a 12 week course, and finished a week ago. I was negative after 4 weeks. Had moderate headaches and insomnia, but had high blood pressure only in the last week and the week after finishing the drug.

The last week i.e. after completing treatment has been by far the worse .......BP has reduced to normal after 4-5 days (from 145-150 / 85 to 105 / 75) but I now have withdrawal symptoms as many have described them .......dizzyness, headaches, shakes, i feel sick most of the time, etc, etc.

I was on high blood pressure meds going into treatment, I started taking organic beet juice pulp tablets and now no longer take my BP meds...it is not cheap but they work.
also celery seed a teaspoon a day is really good to help with BP and stevia extract used as a sweetener

I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C back in 2008. August 4th of 2016 started my one a day regimen for my 90 day treatment. The only thing that happened to me was in the first two days I got the diarrhea, little nauseated but no throwing up.....yeah I seem to have the insomnia and late at night. Sometimes it's hard in the morning to keep myself awake but I'm also taking Gabapentin for my pain in my hand, which is unrelated. I'm getting ready to go back for my first results on my blood work at the end of my 30 days on harvoni with of course at that point 2 more months to go. I'm more curious than anything. Will the white color come back in my eyes? Not that it's yellow but it's not bright white like it used to be. I am 54 years old. I do feel that already it has affected me in a good way. I feel very positive. I'm not depressed anymore than usual as that my husband passed away only six months ago, so I don't know if I'm more depressed over that or if it's depression setting in from harvoni, but since I was depressed before harvoni I'm thinking that that's what this is about. Otherwise I have a positive outlook. I don't exercise that much due to the fact I just really never have gotten into it, but I walk a lot mostly because I have six grandchildren. I'll keep checking back in. I don't really have a question except for I'm just curious about whether or not my eyes will become more bright white again naturally because my liver isn't being affected by the hep c, after the harvoni.

I understand the uncontrollable feelings and symptoms you are experiencing. My best days have been as of late. I began an exercise program with strength training and walking in the heat of the day.. It works, something about exerting yourself allows the hormones from your liver to regulate and normalize. It's the closest I have felt to being calm. Granted, the amount of time the good feelings last is getting longer the more I maintain exercising. It's like a horrible hang over, lol... Ugh, that takes months to recover from. however I am feeling stronger and more balanced. Please, just dont sit there and think that the bad will leave you... Its miserable to do so, it will migrate from a physical feeling to a more psychological manifestation and then you may think you need a pull for that... You have been given another chance at activity and a much healthier lifestyle. Use it. I hope I helped you in some manner. hang in there...

Hi I'm having same issues and I've been off a week. How long will the medication take to get out of my system? I was on 12 weeks. I am healthy and I am cured but I feel pretty damn awful. I'm epileptic and its causing a lot of psychiatric side effects (panic attacks, Insomnia, general depression etc....)

So, I was on a 12 week schedule and it was a bit like a horse kicking my liver in the last 2 weeks of dosing. Detox: this has been much like opiate and methadone detox. Pain in joints cramp in the small muscle groups all through out the body. Leg shakes, insomnia, reflux, pupil dilation at random times, fatigue, runny nose, irregular bowels and worst of all the cold clammy sweat to freezing cold skin all this for 30 days, this is the 5th week for me and Syria are easing but now the rush of hormonal energy makes you feel crazy like double le dosing a 5 hour energy drink and it comes on after midnight. Ugh, sleep? Not before 6a.m., not yet since ive been off. Healed yes, but finished I dont think so... I hope it subsides soon. All the symptoms of opiate withdrawal without the high, cravings, or urges. As far as positives: old wounds healed and smooth scarring, hair on my lower legs has come back, actually hair all over my body has grown. Much like teenwolf,lol. Sounds ridiculous, lol... But im not kidding. Thats it so far.. Hope it helps in your regard. Good luck.

Hi, I saw your post about withdrawel symptoms from Havroni. I am having them big time, (just finished tx 2 days ago). I was wondering how you are doing and if the treatment you are doing with little bit of a Havroni pill is helping. If so could you explain how you use it? Thanks so much for sharing!

Stopped 8 wk tx of Harvoni on March 17th, side effects still very debilitating, concerned and trying to detox my liver and pancreas. Using holistic practices of juicing (beets apple celery parsley carrots blueberries all organic). Also had saved a tiny piece of last pill for a homeopathic remedy which I am just now starting. I am disappointed my Fibromyalgia pain is still with me. I do have more energy, that is really good! Still taking my pain pills though. I am UND since 7 weeks into tx. A little worried about long term effects of TX. Keep posting everyone, need to help each other. Wishing everyone Good Healing from this Nasty Dragon.

Hello, Kat! How are you?

What type of symptoms are you experiencing?

I'm not seeing anything about it causing withdrawal symptoms, but it is a relatively new drug.

Its typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may include nausea, diarrhea, headache and weakness. Withdrawal effects would usually be virtually opposite, so may include constipation, dizziness and drowsiness.

How long were you on it?
