I've been on Harvoni for a few months now to treat my chronic hepatitis C. I've read about the potential side effects, but I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or if you've heard of any long-term effects. I've had a bit of fatigue, but nothing too serious. I'm also interested if that Harvoni really is curing you, or if it just gets the virus to be undetectable? If anyone has more info on that, let me know! Also, I've heard of some people having really harsh allergic reactions to it, did anyone have that? I'm just looking for other people who've taken Harvoni to get a feel if I'm missing out on anything or if I should talk to my doctor about my experiences.

I took Harvoni and it was a life-saver. I had some fatigue and headaches at first, but they went away after a few weeks. My doc kept me informed and monitored me the whole time - luckily no severe reactions. Blood tests showed I was clear after 8 weeks. It’s like I have a new lease on life for only a few months of treatment. It's an amazing drug.

I heard Harvoni can be expensive. Has anyone had issues with insurance coverage? I'm hoping to start soon but not sure if I can afford it.

Harvoni really can be life changing if you have HCV. I was really surprised that I didn't have any side effects at all, but my doctor said everyone's different. Just make sure to keep in touch with your doctor and get all the blood tests they recommend.

I got a strong rash after taking it for a week and my doc said to stop immediately. Turns out I found this article online about this Harvoni causing some pretty nasty allergic reactions that no one talking about. I guess the drug is not for everyone.

I just started Harvoni and I’m feeling a bit anxious about the possible side effects. Anyone have any tips for dealing with the anxiety?

It's interesting that some people have no side effects while others have severe ones. I wonder if there's a way to predict who will have reactions.

My partner is on Harvoni. She's had some trouble sleeping and a bit of muscle pain, but overall, she's doing well. I think it's worth it if it cures HCV. We are hopeful.

I had a really bad reaction to Harvoni. I got this horrible rash and swelling in my throat. It was terrifying. I ended up in the ER and had to switch medications. Be careful, and if you get any signs of an allergic reaction, get to a doctor ASAP.
