Welbutrin

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Abingdon, VA

I asked my ID for a recommendation on a smoking cessation and she suggested that i ask my PC for Wellbutrin. She said this was her “favorite” because its a stimulant that helps with depression/anxiety as well as a smoking cessation. I was wondering if anyone out there has ever taken this and what your experience was with it. Thankssss. Much loveeeee 🤪🤪

Curious On Anyone’s Experiences With Zoloft.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Saint Louis, MO

I’m already on welbutrin but on my last visit during a stressful work week my dr thought I seemed depressed and suggested adding something or talking to someone. I don’t think talking to anyone will make difference with my current job situation so I did agree to the additional meds, but after reading more on it, I don’t think I want to take it. Thanks in advance for any opinions or experiences.

Unless you have had previous problems with SSRI antidepressants, I would say Zoloft (sertraline) is not difficult to use. That said, Wellbutrin is pretty stimulating. You might do better with… read more

Is Anyone Using Dovato

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Hilo, HI

Dovato was first approved by the FDA in April 2019 as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2018 due to the TDF component in Atripla. So switched to Biktarvy even though it still had TAF which which also could contribute to osteoporosis but at a 90% reduction compared to TDF. Dovato a two-drug combination that replaces the typical three-drug cocktail doesn't have anything resembling TDF or TAF according to my HIV specialist, who… read more

A myHIVteam Member

I don't remember if I answered this already, but I am using Dovato. Three or four years and counting. The main reason for the switch was due to my osteoporosis at such a young age, as well as a better… read more

Do you suffer from anxiety, depression fear, anger …etc.? Has HIV prompted this or made it worse?
Do you think our primary care physicians and HIV facilities should look into short and long term effects on mental health with HIV infection?
Do you think it should be treated as a serious problem?
