You won't have to force yourself to eat a piece of carrot cake w/icing at 6am every morning.   Half way home. Good luck.

Yes, there are some very obvious withdrawal symptoms from stopping Incivek. You will notice a rapid improvement in butt burn and related discomfort. Your skin will quickly stop itching, at least for the most part. Food will begin to taste better. You will not have 8-hour alarms going off all day, and will have a hard time thinking of ways to spend all that time. You will wake up, bug-eyed, at the normal time each morning but realize you can go back to sleep. No precise dose time required.

These are withdrawals that most people find they can cope with. Congrats to both of you for finishing (or nearly finishing) Incivek. The withdrawal period could be some of the best time you have had for three months. In my opinion the second twelve weeks (in my case 24) was easy compared to the first twelve.
