Side effects after Incivek is over?

I am about to begin week 8. I was just curious to see if any of you have already wrapped up your 12 weeks of Incivek. If so, did your side effects get any better? Since I have to treat 48 weeks I have been counting down the days until the Incivek is over and hoping that things will get a little easier once this part is over. Thanks!

you need the 20grams of fat per dose it increases the drugs effectiveness its like 200% more effective (you will lose the weight after the cure and drink the water a gal a dayother wise you will be dryer than sand, as far as the itchuse baby wipes or shower --shower is the best i wqs clear after 1st week it works once the insivick is over the rest is cake.the pegasis will be still a few days of flu symtoms but tyenol is the trick,anti depressants are helpful ativan,paxil, the drugs deplets you of serotonin,sleep i use abien,and acid reflux i use omeprazole 40mg started at 20 (i was 230)now i`m 217 and @ my last week of peg,and ribo already finishied insivick
