No side effects. Undetectable in just 3 months. I feel great other than a dull pain in my right side on rare occasions.

Comment:
Start taking Viread 300mg daily since liver transplant (6/2010). Chronic Hep B became liver cancer. Minor side effects include heart palpitations (occasionally), cold hands/feet, and diarrhea (sometimes). It works for me. Very thankful.

Comment:
I've taken this drug for just over 2 months, I started to experience some vomiting after taking the drug, slight nausea. Sometimes find it hard to sleep until I'm completely exhausted. Still active with sports. So far so good. Viral count dropped from 14million to 163IU/mL. Not sure about the measuring units, would do some more research after.
