2 weeks into Harvoni. Find myself hungry when not normal before. Food tastes better. gained 3lbs.not good for us girls! Metamucil may curb appetite as antacid not allowed. Headache on and off continue. Chilly n a little achey. Notice my eyes a little sparkley

I noticed being hungry as well; I'm a guy. Started working out again to offset any weight gain.

atomic dog · « **Reply #2 on:** March 27, 2015, 11:12:38 am »

I've gained 2 pounds. My sweet tooth really kicked in. No trying to get my diet under control.

Perca05 · « **Reply #3 on:** March 27, 2015, 11:19:38 am »

Yes! Me too! I have been craving sweets way more than I normally do, and have found myself doing more 'snacking' during the day. Ugh...hope I don't gain pounds while I'm losing virus.

Espo2 · « **Reply #4 on:** March 27, 2015, 11:24:17 am »

Ate 6 small cookies last nite, so unusual for me. Fiancé drinks Metamucil at nite to ward off munchies at nite. Will try tonite. Hope that's ok w doc. No vitamins, no wine, water,water,water... Maybe that's the culprit, washing out sugar too?

Chug plenty of water which can help with side effects and hungry cravings.

Best wishes, Mike

very interesting, I am on day 5 of Harvoni and at day 2 I could have eaten everything in site, fortunately that has subsided. I normally run on the hot side and have been chilly, had the space heater in my office on today, where I would be opening the window. I have never drank so much water in my life, I can definitely tell the difference when I need to drink more, I get a mild headache, drink more and it goes away. Its all good though!

C-FIGHTER · « **Reply #7 on:** March 27, 2015, 04:31:00 pm »

I have noticed the same. the First 6 days I had a sweet tooth big time, I was hungry. it seems to have subsided and my appetite returned to normal, at least for now.

My mouth gets very dry which makes me think the Harvoni dehydrates. it would explain a lot of the side effects, nausea, headache, fatigue, dry skin, all symptoms of dehydration. So I just drink a lot of water and everything seems to be fine.

Johnny_Wayne · « **Reply #8 on:** March 29, 2015, 06:41:08 pm »

I gained 23 pounds while on Harvoni for 12 weeks. And this is 23 pounds gained on healthy stuff like apples, chicken breast, plain fish and rice. Yes, I had an insatiable appetite while on Harvoni.

EyeSea BlueSky · « **Reply #9 on:** March 29, 2015, 08:44:13 pm »

Same thing is happening to me, I want to snack all the time. And my craving is more for sweets than before Harvoni. I am 2 weeks into treatment and have noticed a big appetite increase. My theory at first on this was that the Harvoni is working already and my liver is starting to function more normally. For the last several years, I have not been able to feel normal hunger, just did could not feel when it should be time to eat. Sometimes I would just have to make myself eat, and then I would find out I was ravenous because it had been so long since I had last eaten. It was weird, my wife was always reminding me that I need to eat even if I wasn't hungry. No more reminders needed! I hope this is a side effect that will deminish over time or that it is my natural appetite returning and I just need to get control of it. I agree that drinking lots of water helps, but even then I have the urge to snack often.

mspatnc · « **Reply #10 on:** March 30, 2015, 02:11:44 pm »

I can totally relate. My sister and my caretaker stayed on me to eat but I simply could not. About 3 days after starting Harvoni, somebody had to go to the grocery store.
I never wanted a complete meal. Now, I want it all, meals, snacks, and the hind end of a elephant. lol Sure hope it levels out and I don't end up looking like the hind end of that elephant.

Even after 2 short weeks, I feel much better and can tell a big difference. Hardly any depression, fatigue or complete misery that I've suffered for several years.
I am elated and so grateful to God. I'm 74 years old and only wish I could have had this 10 years ago...like hoping it's not too late for me to enjoy being well for a few more years. I'm not worried much about getting a few lbs. over weight. I'll enjoy the food and the feeling good and when treatment is all over, I'll get serious about dropping a few lbs. or whatever is necessary.

I have had absolutely no side effects yet...just wonder if they can start as I continue treatment. If they do, I can handle that too. LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING WELL.

I Love this Forum and thank you to whomever is responsible. If I post too much or get too chatty, someone please let me know.

Hugz to All

I agree with the increase in appetite. I've put on 10 pounds. Drink 60% body weight in oz of water. If I don't headache starts, drink water and it goes away. I also just had the chills/shakes really bad. 1 night. Reminded me of Interferon/ribavirin daze. Not sure if it was a bug but I also am normally hot and not so much since on harvoni. Just started jogging again, otherwise I feel like I would put on another 10 pounds! Food...Food...water...water... All is good..

Tpropane · « **Reply #12 on:** March 30, 2015, 08:28:57 pm »

SWEET TOOTH! for sure. Rather try and stick to fruit and lay off the dairy and wheat. But had a big latte and almond croissant today and it was heaven. Balance. Broccoli and grilled chicken for dinner.

Getting well · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2015, 08:40:51 pm »

I, too, am experiencing an increased appetite. However, I think it is just me becoming normal. Just as I've seen some others post, for years I had no appetite and just couldn't force myself to eat. I am thrilled to want to eat again.

And the mental fog? Gone, gone, gone.

I'm 60 and now I think I may still have a life. I had almost given up, just not wanting to be in pain and feel really sick all the time.

Harvoni, so far, is truly a miracle for me and I've been on it only 13 days.

BubbaT · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2015, 09:25:24 pm »

Yep, I noticed the sweet tooth, but even before starting Harvoni, for years the only time I felt well was after a good nutritious meal, I found that your total well being is tied to your liver and good food, the more nutrients the better, salmon, brown rice, and salads, then yogurt and chocolate .... Lots of choclate ...Ok, not lots!

Low salt soups, lots of fruits, apples, grapes, banana, oranges,

haven any of you have blurred vision during certain times? I'm thinking this is glucose related,

I have noticed that when I eat a poor nutrient meal, that I feel bad after, how many others noticed this also?

Thank you for replies about hunger, and your experiences. Doc told me to take at bedtime. Wonder if it causes headache in morning. Next week I turn 60, didn't plan on a long life,Interferon hurt my heart and nearly took me out. this changes the game, still pinching myself that this drug exists. Feel bad for people that have to mortgage the drug. Hope price comes down. Hope I can afford my golden years, new problem. God got me this far, we're all still here to do this treatment! Faith!

Ledoc01 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 01, 2015, 02:15:33 am »

I took my first Harvoni on 2/22; I've gained at least 15 lbs so far. If it slows down long enough for me too get a fork in it it's mine. For those few things I find inedible...I just add sugar and it's good to go.

Getting well · « **Reply #19 on:** April 01, 2015, 09:27:51 am »

I take Harvoni first thing in the morning, fasting.

While I am still seeing an increased appetite, I am using that as a sprng board to eat more nutritious food. The past few years I felt too bad to eat and practically lived on sweet drinks, a snack cake or canned soup, the things I wouldn't touch before I became so ill, due to the convenience. Now I am well enough to shop for food, bring it home and cook it.

I feel like I am getting a second chance at life.

I was hoping I would die. Not because I was suicidal but because I didn't want to suffer any more. This is truly a miracle for me.

Blue · « **Reply #20 on:** April 02, 2015, 09:43:54 pm »

Wow, this thread makes me laugh! I thought it was just me. I'm up 10 lbs. and I just started my 9th week. I will eat anything in sight! Craving sweets. I've been pretty active too....daily workout, hiking, just came home from my tennis league. I've never had trouble maintaining my weight. Food tastes so good.

I too have had chills, especially cold feet and one shaking episode when I felt so cold and couldn't warm up.

Mostly feeling good & optimistic!

First time logging in, just had to reply to those noticing an appetite increase. I'm trying to be very careful, but have managed to gain 2 lbs in the 2 weeks since I started 8 week Harvoni treatment. Glad to know I'm not alone! I've been battling fatigue, headache not bad but pretty constant and water does help.

Blue · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2015, 07:50:15 pm »

Getting Well......I'm glad you are feeling better and feel like you have a second chance. Harvoni is hopefully giving all of us a chance to reset and write a new healthier chapter.

atomic dog and Ledoc01......makes me laugh, struggling to get into Levi's and chosing sweat pants. Well, I am putting down the muffin and I'm going to get some control. I'm going to do it.

Ledoc01.....I've never seen the wording "weak positive". You're one smidge away from undetected. I was detected<15 at 4 weeks and today I got my 8 week labs....bumped to undetected. Happy about that. Hoping that for all soon!

Welcome Maggie!

Greetings and welcome Maggie.

@Blue; congrats on your 8 week results. I too had not previously seen or heard of "weak positive" as a value. I wonder what it is that is driving this appetite though...especially the sweet tooth. I stocked up on veggies and no fattening stuff last night though; I'm now officially 1/2 way there but good grief...there is no way I can allow this weight gain to continue at this rate LOL.

Gilead is going to have to add this in as a side effect! Be prepared to manage your muffin intake.

Kim, good luck with the EOT labs!

Really, there must be some explanation for the increased appetite and sweet tooth. People sometimes see me as a bit of a health nut since I eat supper healthy so this increase isn't because I'm making poor food choices. I'm drinking tons too.

Oh well, it's time for dessert.

cate · « **Reply #30 on:** April 05, 2015, 07:41:54 pm »

Hi, and yes! I've had a big appetite since about two weeks into treatment? Wonder why? My Hepatologist mentioned that she hears this often from her patients.

We've extended treatment to 24 weeks from 12 since I was a slow responder, so I better watch the cravings. I've been drinking one, 8-ounce glass of spring or distilled water with about 2 TBL of Apple Cider Vinegar, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of cinnamon that has helped me reduce cravings (especially sweets!) and is also great for weight loss and maintaining health. But some may need extra weight. I am not one of those peeps.

Best,
Cate

Ahhhh....I'm entering the 12th and final week of Harvoni..wooo.

I too have gained weight and recently began having more of an appetite....I thought the weight gain was because I was so fatigued/fighting terrible sinusitis, that I've not been able to exercise(cycling is what I do)........Have been essentially bed-bound except for essential errands/activities of daily living.

But this past week, I'm feeling stronger, and although not ready to get on the bike, my appetite is NUTS.........I won't get on the scale, but my clothing is feeling tighter and tighter....

6 more days to go! Who knew that having a better functioning liver would lead to weight gain? I thought the opposite was true. That fats/sugars don't get metabolized well with liver disease....

PS: I have eaten so cleanly throughout therapy. No sweets except for some chocolate on Easter Day. I use fruit or sweet potatoes to feed my sweet tooth), very little to no bread(gluten free). Essentially my diet has been home-made chicken soups, veggies, tree nuts(cashews, almonds), fruit....I'm stunned that I could be gaining weight with this kind of diet intake...

Thanks everyone for bringing this up....at least now we can look forward to SVR and weight loss!

atomic dog · « **Reply #34 on:** April 15, 2015, 02:14:11 pm »

Congrats on getting through it. Sorry to hear you were bed bound. Envious that you have managed your diet--I just couldn't get it together other than cutting way back on red meat and adding salads, a few blueberries and nuts once in a while.

Best of luck on your SVR.

Thanks atomic...it's taken me years to clean out my diet habits since diagnosis(early 90s) and indeed, I did go "all in" when I began Harvoni.

But the changes that you describe you made are no small feat...the older we get, especially, the harder it is to change.

Wishing you SVR too....all of us, please God.

My weight was stable on Harvoni.. After Harvoni, its a different story.. In my case, Harvoni had no effect on diet; I just got a little sloppy with the diet post treatment.. Currently in the process of reigning it in.. Only talking about a few pounds.

I'm always hungry and probably eat more than I should. But no more or less since starting Harvoni. I am one of the lucky ones that have experienced no side effects. So I've been able to maintain my normal exercise routine and therefore, I have maintained my weight.

Meg you'll have your knees in the breeze before you know it. Then the weight will fall off. I wish I had your will power re: eating healthy.

Hi,Getting well, Thank you for responding to my thoughts of future. I defaulted to maybe I'll die soon, didn't want to burden my kids with lingering liver disease. We get sick of feeling sick too. We lived to die, now we have to live to live! New life, really didn't think there was a second chance for us. I turned 60 this week also, what a present! Everybody keep the faith!

Espo2. Weight gain be damned. 60! You've earned a slice of birthday cake. Seriously, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Even my family didn't understand the way that Hep C ruled my life. I also lived with death looking over my shoulder. It contributed to gloominess but also helped to push me to try and make a difference in this crazy world. Harvoni can be a game changer and while I don't know the eventual outcome I appreciate the chance to have a new lease on life. Believe me, I wept when I learned that I had finally been approved. Rock on.

I think it's especially helpful for those lurking or considering treatment----I think that those of us who experience side effects are the ones most likely to post on patient sites like this and we inadvertently? may skew the broader population experience to be harder than it is?

I suppose the year-end liver conferences where they discuss the "real world" data with Harvoni will offer some insights re: clinical trial experiences vs. post approval...

Had a lobster and birthday cake! be so nice to go to Docs and not put Hep c down on forms and not panic if we get cut n bleed near family member. And drink wine n get silly some time. Just got 4 week result, undetected! Joint pain getting very annoying. Itchy dry skin too. Seems to amplify anything that is off a little. But food tastes soooo good. Started 6th week.

I have notice an increased appetite - and EVERYTHING is delicious. Not to mention an excelerated sweet tooth. Im on week 6 of Harvoni & it's going pretty well with the exception of edema in my calves, ankles & feet.....& occasional crying jags. Is this familiar to any of you?

joe49 · « **Reply #51 on:** April 22, 2015, 11:55:50 am »

Today is my 12 week anniversary on Harvoni. Last labs normal ast and alt. Platelets are still low but improving. All other labs at or close to normal. Non-responder to Incivek with interferon and ribo -- pure hell for nothing.

As you all have noted, I too have a significant increase in appetite. I've gained about 5 lbs -- not too bad. I attribute the lack of significant weight gain to my digestive system simply working better. I've become very regular with my bowels -- this is a very big deal for a 65 year old. I also cannot get warm -- seem to be always chilly -- and I always seem to have a low-grade headache.

Nevertheless, I now "live to live" whereas previously I was "living to die". Whoever posted that previously was inspired.

Good to hear many others are experiencing the "starvation" that seems to epitomize Harvoni. I feel like I am starving to death sometimes and when I over eat I get some serious nausea...kind of a catch 22. I have noticed a significant increase in energy and until today, leg pain started flaring up, I have been able to do a lot of activities that I have just been to tired to do in the last 20 years, biking, heavy yard work, big paint jobs, etc.

Got some heavy yard work that needs to be done if you're feeling energetic. . . just kid din'. Glad to hear that you're energized. The Harvoni must be working its strange magic.

I also have noticed that I am constantly starving to death. And exactly what "Gittin Cured" said. Except I don't get nausea if I over eat but a terrible bloating and sometimes that swollen liver feeling.
I can stand to gain a couple of lbs so I'm not tooo worried about that (yet)

susanb · « **Reply #56 on:** April 23, 2015, 05:59:31 pm »

2 weeks past EOT and clear - fabulous!!! I am hoping to see an undetected VL from my first blood test any day now. Then it's only 5 more months of tx. It will be interesting to see how it feels to be virus free. I've had this disease since the mid-70s and so it has been with me most of my life. What will it feel like to be without it? Especially since I am really beginning to feel the virus now. The cirrhosis (stage 4) of the liver, edema in the lower legs, ankles and feet, general crumminess. But good news is the brain fog is going away which gives me hope that the Harvoni is working.
BTW - I really like reading the posts at this blog because it normalizes things for me. So off I go for a delicious calorie packed lunch & some cookies - LOL!!

Hi all,

First post...[ding, ding, ding].

I've been on 'Starvoni' for 4 weeks and the appetite has been ferocious. My problem is, I've got kidney disease and high blood pressure, so I can't simply raid the refrigerator when I get hungry. I'm on a very low potassium/low sodium diet, and in case you're wondering, everything has potassium.

I think I'm barely getting 1500 calories a day and have lost 30lbs since January. If I kick the butt out of my 35 year HCV infection, it'll all be worth it.

Thankful to be on Harvoni, even though it's making me want to eat my arm.

Peace and best wishes,

sabre

Gramsgrl · « **Reply #58 on:** April 23, 2015, 09:31:52 pm »

Yes!! I am having the same effect! I have gained 5 lbs in the first 2 weeks! I am a Weight Watcher and have been at goal weight for over a year in preparation for starting the Harvoni. I wanted to be as healthy as possible before beginning treatment. I am worried what the next 6 weeks will bring. I find that although I am eating properly and drinking a couple of litres of water every day , I still keep thinking about food! I have had a sort of bubbly stomach since day 2 and find if I eat something it settles for a bit. Oh well, my husband says once I am cured I can get back on track again. If it would warm up maybe I could find some motivation to get out and get more exercise. Six more weeks.....how bad can it be? LOL
