Members discussed their experiences with weight gain while taking Triumeq, with many confirming they had gained weight but noting it was often accompanied by other challenging side effects like trouble sleeping, upset stomach, nausea, and rashes. Several members shared troubling symptoms including a persistent metallic taste in their mouth and heightened smell sensitivity that made eating difficult, with some losing significant weight and strength before their doctors finally agreed to switch medications. A recurring theme was frustration with doctors who were reluctant to change treatments despite ongoing side effects, and the relief members felt in realizing they were not alone in their struggles.

My doctor he referred me to a dermatologist Until coming on this site I never thought it could-be a side effect from the medication I call the doctor today to get my medication changed.
