Hi Lock,

Welcome back! This will be nothing like the Incivek hell you went through. Same thing goes though, drink plenty of water to avoid the headaches and muscle aches. Stay rested, but I'm told many sleep very well on Harvoni. We have several people here that will provide you with good advice along the way. Be sure and check out the Harvoni Train thread. It's full of great discussion! Good luck...

Hi Lock, welcome back!  I just finished 12 weeks on Harvoni last week.  I experienced a bit of fatigue and a headache or 2, but that was it for me.  Drink lots of water to stay hydrated -- that helps ward off any headaches.  Good luck to you! It certainly is a miracle drug...

hi, I belonged to this forum a few years ago when I was on triple therapy.  It didn't go to well, had to stop at 8 weeks because of rash.  I'm still feeling the effects of that treatment, I hope Harvoni has better results.  Anyway I will read what others are going through and know what to expect.  Thanks in advance for any advice...
