Good advisor

Hi, I'm new to this and was just recently diagnosed. The doctor at the clinic I went to talked about putting me on Symfi but when I went home and looked into it I saw that it has some scary and serious side effects and that freaked me out (liver and kidney problems, mental health problems? no thank you!). Now I'm scared to take it even though I know that I obviously really need to. I'm thinking about trying to go back and ask for something else?

Has anyone been on Symfi and can tell me about it? I'm totally new to this so I'm just really freaking out in all kinds of directions. Any reassurance or advice is appreciated!

I'm not familiar with that medication. I assume its a newer one since I am aware of most.

@fairy_ Hi, I hope you were able to find out more about it since you posted. But my friend takes this and I asked him and his doctor mentioned the possibility that it might worsen Hep B, but since he doesn't have that he's ok. He said he have any side effects either. I can't comment on it myself since I'm not taking it, but maybe someone else on here is and can share their experience with it.
