Avatar m tn The most common side effects of pep are-diarrhea,vomitting and headaches.
Avatar m tn I do not know all of the side effects of PEP. As I mentioned before, you should discuss these with your doctor. Please do not focus on your symptoms. No one can diagnose you or even make a guess based on your symptoms. Only a test can diagnose HIV.
Avatar m tn I would like to know the long term toxic side effects of Lamivudine 150mg and zidovudine 300mg tablet which is taken as a PEP for 28 days.
Avatar m tn You also said it was protected. PEP is not something you just take on a wim, It has major side effects sometimes.
Avatar m tn After two and a half day of taking medicine, I started feeling uncomfortable (I guess the side effects) and out of frustration went for lab test this was on the seventh day after th exposure. I tested negative. But I know that window period may be much longer. I am very much worried.
Avatar m tn Hello again doctor. It was very hard due side effects but fortunately I was able to take PEP treatment for the role 28 days after 30h of exposure. Now I'm waiting 4 weeks period to do first testing. In this meantime, that I still very frightened, I would like to ask you on your experience have you seen cases of people taking PEP as recommended and still turning HIV positive? Is it rare? Thanks once more.
Avatar m tn m almost done with Day 2 of Truvada and AZT and am just tired, no other side effects yet. I begin Combivir + Viread on Monday, and am a bit worried the side effects will become harder to deal with considering I'm taking AZT now once twice a day and Monday I switch to 3 times twice a day. I have a panic and anxiety disorder. I have a therapist and set up a meeting with her. In addition I get regularly tested for STI's, I don't have Hep C, I have my vaccines, blah blah.
Avatar m tn What are any steps I can take to reduce the side-effects of PEP and to ease my struggle with the side effects? I will be meeting a specialist in a week's time to discuss my concerns further but until then what can I do to make PEP easier on me? Thanks again.
Avatar m tn I am eating zidovudine and lamivudine !and I am a smoker so i just wanna know smoke will influence medicine or not?
Avatar m tn I ate lamivudine and zidovudine at 22 hours late after the behavior.Does it will work well?
Avatar m tn 2) is there any value in my testing negative for p24 antigen 3) do pep medicines cause side-effects like consistent or intermittent fever. Thanks again.
Avatar n tn but there were no evidence of fever or sore throat or something but i had an skin burn that last just a few hours and an ulcer in my mouth that last just a day and faded by itself. i am doubtful if these symptoms are related to HIV ARS or side effects of drugs that i am taking. i need to know if this regimen is enough in my situation and how long after taking these drugs is the right time to go for an elisa test. best regards.
Avatar m tn Depakote can also increase levels of other drugs in the body, including diazepam (Valium), ethosuximide (Zarontin), warfarin (Coumadin), and zidovudine (Retrovir). Talk to your doctor before taking these medicines with Depakote.
Avatar m tn Since that time, he is receiving HAART with lamivudine-zidovudine-efavirenz twice daily, but he told me that there are some days ( at maximun 3) that he does not take the pills, but most days of the month he is adhering to the treatment. His current viral load is 39,000 copies/ml. When I realized of him diagnosis, I went to a doctor who gave me profilaxis about 18 hours post-exposure with lamivudine-zidovudine.
Avatar m tn I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.
Avatar f tn Many AD's have side effects that affect the libido, guess it applies to both sex es. As far as I know all AD's have this drastic effect . Hopefully you'll find one that's OK for you . Good luck.
Avatar m tn Yes, I've only been on it a week and I experience the muscle aches and bilateral flank pain as well. In addition, insomnia!

Avatar f tn Does anyone know of any side effects from using the circulation booster. I have the opportunity to buy a second hand one, but my brother believes it can't be good for your muscles to zap them so to speak, like it will confuse your muscles.
Avatar n tn Hi. I am on week 60/72, second round of treatment. I was really really sick after shot for first few months and then this resolved and became tolerable at least. I now find that I am having these same significant side effects later in tx. This didn't happen last round, but I went 48 then. Anyone else have this happen?
Avatar n tn i had similar side effects when coming off the depo shot. I thought i was pregnant and took 3 tests. they went away but it took about 6mo. My docs checked my hormones and pituitary gland and they we all fine. It's probably not the effexor but ck w/ your doc anyway.
Avatar f tn I just googled Avastin side effects are there are many sites that have lots of info on there. Also, you could google the manufacturer or ask your oncology center for some fact sheets.... Just a thought.
