I am on 24 weeks treatment I did 1 month and a half with harvoni and ribavirin stop the ribavirin and my liver enzymes Alt and Ast were up in my blood works then on my next blood works 14 weeks into treatment my enzymes went down again. I don't know if it was the virus resistance.

Ribavirin has been known to affect the liver, and to cause side effects, including elevated liver enzymes on blood work, so it may have just been due to taking it.

Ref: Medline Plus Ribavirin

Other side effects may include nausea, insomnia, memory loss, diarrhea, and cough, according to FDA reports.

Did your doctor feel there was any reason to be concerned?

Harvoni can also cause side effects, such as nausea, muscle pain, dizziness, irritability, headache, and tiredness.

Ref: Medline Plus Harvoni
