Hello andra, Hep C can cause depression and anxiety. Are U in treatment? for the Hep C I mean. I was put on anti-depressants ADs before Treatment(Tx) and none helped but I was also given Xanax. Only .5 mg to start and I stopped having panic attacks. Like you I had pain in my Liver, or so I thought. It turned out to be a gall stone floating around and would block a duct from time to time. Had gall bladder removed and no more pain. By the way, welcome to the forum! You have found a good place and you will find us to be a mixed group of social and sometimes anti-social types-sorry-just read U are trying to get on Treatment. Were you told you need Tx? Are U seeing a gastro or Hepatologist? Franke566
