Not me but the majority of people who take Harvoni only take Harvoni.

I originally was only to take Harvoni but asked my doctor if she though it would be good to add ribavirin to my treatment because of my treatment history. Otherwise I would have just taken Harvoni alone for 24 weeks

How many of you are doing the Harvoni alone?

I always take it alone. I don't have enough to share. Sometimes my wife is up and in the kitchen with me when I take it, but she can't have any. A man has to dig in and be firm sometimes.

Bill, remember that Harvoni is actually TWO medicines combined into one pill: sofosbuvir (also sold separately under the trade name Sovaldi) and ledipasvir. Any treatment for HCV needs (at least) two drugs -- Harvoni already has the two drugs built into it. That's why Harvoni is usually used "alone."

HTH,

Bill T
I am on a 12 week of Harvoni alone.
Currently on my second month, I also have a friend in another state who will start Harvoni this coming weekend.
If she doesn't have time to join the forum I will post her results as they come in.
