Vikira pak with ribavirin
« on: November 15, 2016, 10:36:10 pm »
I've just finished a 12 week course of this . I had trouble with anemia. Ended up in hospital for one night with horrific neck spasms.  But apart from that I got most side affects, but all were handleable.  Still got itchy hands and head a bit , but seem to have more energy,  and no trouble sleeping, got my appetite back too. Looking forward to 12 week results. Anyone else done this treatment?

A lot of people here have you can search the forum for Viekira Pak and should find some other threads.

I did Harvoni with ribavirin and experienced anemia but no rash. The anemia resolved very quickly after I ended treatment.

Hi Mythical, I did the same treatment. Anaemia hit me too, but even with a reduction in my ribavirin dose I cleared the virus. I'm coming up on the 12 month anniversary of my svr12. Essentially I've been virus free for 1 year and 8 months. It's a good feeling :)

It'll soon be yours and it's time's good feeling.
