Hello, Big D! How are you?

Yes, as listed by the FDA, unusual tiredness can occur, when taking this medication. You may also experience headache, nausea, diarrhea and weakness.

If it's very troublesome, you should speak to your doctor, they may have some ideas that could help.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I had all of those syptoms, tired, weakness, and being busy on the toilet,got almost used to it and changed my diet which consistedof more grains and fruit and veggies in small amounts, figuring that less in my tummy equates to less toilet use.my treatment was for 12 weeks but the hep c came back shorty after but apparently traces left. whether it goes back to where it was before I don't know.never was told the measurements.I would think that another couple of weeks of treatment would of remedied the hep c but now try to get back on the Harvoni might be a problem.When I posed the question to .my Liver Doctor she said that my Hep C will be treated with a different medication, no mention on what that Medicine is.yet. Thank you and sorry for my lengthy description.

Hey there Big D:
My husband was on the Harvoni and he had to have naps throughout the day. Sometimes he would sleep maybe half hour, other times an hour. For the most part he felt good. I think to with him being Diabetic and taking his needles and pills, with everything else tired him out as well. Hope this helps.

I am not more than 12 months post treatment and still require a nap daily, not an option. It is almost as if I pass out I am so tired. There are many of us who have this chronic fatigue post treatment. In many cases it does not go away after treatment.

Please report all side effects to the FDA (not to Gilead as they are known for not providing full information to the FDA)

fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/ucm053074.htm

Also I have two reports from the FDA listing hundreds of side effects, not just tiredness and fatigue. {edited for privacy}. I will gladly share this information with whoever writes to me since Gilead and FDA are closed mouthed about all the problems.

I would really like to have those copies from the FDA, I did file a report with them and did not get much of a response.
Thanks and hope you get this

Has anyone had a false+ drug panel from harvoni? I came up positive for fenanyl and I've been clean off drugs for more than 5 years. Really made me feel helpless, someone telling you that you came up positive, and give you a look like, "yea sure". Anybody experience anything like this?
