I am a bit worried about the short term side effects and long term side effects. Should i continue PeP with both drugs? Will they damage my liver etc . Looot of questions :) Thank you in advance and excuse my poor english.

So i have a lot of questions regarding the oportunity of PeP in both cases. I am a bit worried about the short term side effects and long term side effects. Should i continue PeP with both drugs? Will they damage my liver etc . Looot of questions :) Thank you in advance and excuse my poor english. P.S. I think this time i learned my lesson. Use better condoms and a loooot more lubricant.

Hello I ran into an incident last night and ended up having unprotected sexual intercourse with a stipper. I started the first dose of Combivir last night and was wondering if the side effects get too bad and I cannot take it for the full 28 days, what I should do. They cannot get any other PEP prophylaxis treatments besides the Combivir and was really worried about the side effects of this medication, as I am already feeling nauseated.

t get enough water constant dry mouth sore throat and muscle pains headaches so my question is I am 14 days in and if I quit now will these side effects go away and how long till they do I just want to die I feel so bad. If I quit today what will happen in terms of if I did have an exposure.

Thank you kenzorio. The doctor said there are not enough data available to properly answer the question and recommanded to keep as well. I'm just concerned about side effects of combivir. Another question tho, once side effects are experienced do they get worst or they stabilize? About lactic acidosis does it keeps build up in the system the more you take combivir or does it stabilize?

I took only one pill of Combivir like nPEP, and after i realized that i was not in a risky situation i stop consuming Combivir. Couple of days i still have some side effects from that one pill. so my question is: What kind of problem i can have after this one pill Combivir?

My primary care physician indicated to me that he did not have much knowledge re Combivir side effects. He said in reading about Combivir that it can affect lactic acid levels in the muscles and that this may contribute to muscle soreness. I am waiting to also pose this question to the specialist he referred me to. After about 4 days the soreness went away. Now, I admit I am lucky and don't have much experience with the flu and "flu like symptoms".

Jails, institutions or death are the most common long term side effects I have seen, or the person quits and has a program of recovery. Why do you ask?

i wonder did a doctor tell you you had multiple chemical sensitivites....

I have read all the side effects but it is hard finding anything on the severe long term effects of taking this drug. Does anyone know a link or maybe some answers?

What are the long term side effects of taking Gabapentin for long term pain control?

That's a good one! I sure hope I get that long term side effect.

hi folks-just looking around for info re long term side effects of treatment and came across you lot ranting away on your keyboards! I successfully completed 6months tx in april 2007 and am now unable to do very much due to the fatigue,pain and confusion I've suffered since. Just wanted to be added to the list of damaged souls. Have lost a lot of friends to this horrible disease so am very glad to have cleared it but at what cost?

I am reading there are long term side effects with treatment, I am getting the heebie jeebies I have been positive till now but need to know if this is true.

You also said it was protected. PEP is not something you just take on a wim, It has major side effects sometimes.

Levoxly's long term side effects if taken at the right dose are very rare, with the most common being hair loss nothing new to most of us here.

I have no symptoms and feel great; I am 54 and wondering if HEP C would kill me or if the treatment could cause long term effects that could ruin my health. The longest living male in my family was my father 86 and had slow progressive dementia the last 10 years.

I have been doing some research on my side effects, I had blur vision in 4 days. I hope it does help someone like me. http://www.nature.com/eye/journal/v16/n1/full/6700038a.html that's site. And as for the dark greasy stool here it is the site http://hab.hrsa.gov/deliverhivaidscare/clinicalguide11/cg-501_diarrhea.htmlI hope it does help in any case since I had tried to find something but couldn't. I hope you all the best who is reading this because you need it.

Side Effects of Entecavir - for the Consumer Entecavir All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Entecavir: Diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; headache; indigestion; nausea; tiredness; trouble sleeping; vomiting.

BUT, I have to take it or I am in pain. So try not to worry so much about the long term effects when you are trying to survive today. If you are worried about this I would talk to my doctor and let them know what you are experiencing and there may be something they can do differently. Just dont stop any seizure med without a doctors help. Hope you feel better..

Also, I am worried that with my anxiety I will not be able to differentiate my usual anxiety symptoms and the potentially dangerous side effects of Combivir. Will I be able to tell the difference? Finally, what are my risk factors for this type of exposure? Thanks!

My advice would be to get a new doctor who has expertise in HIV. You had no risk and you didn't need PEP. Please read about the side effects of PEP. You're taking a drug to prevent a disease that you didn't have a risk of contracting.
