Hi there, It,s not usual to feel any side effects from the treatment this early although everyone is different. Do you know which combination of tablets you are on?. The Hep C trust offer good advice for any concerns you may have. Smoking weed or drinking any alcohol I would have thought is not a good idea. They can effect the way the drugs work (the doctors usually explain this before treatment begins) and due to the high cost I was told they only have permission to treat once, if it fails for any reason you are in the dark about if you could be treated again. You,d be giving yourself a higher chance of it working by just sticking to the regime (I know it,s tempting to want to try and feel better). Another issue is the more people who "fail" to stick to their treatment plan in these early days of it being rolled out, the more likely it is to have an effect on those waiting to be treated. I was told this by my liver nurse. Wishing you the best. The Hep C Trust National helpline can give you details of your local group. Please remember to drink plenty of water. Regards anne.
