Side Effects From Meds.....
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have side effects from ART meds? Biktarvy specifically? Ive had the same side effects for a year, (since I started taking it) and Its to a point that I'm tired of them. My doctor keeps telling me most people dont have any side effects from it. Well, maybe I'm not most people. He won't switch me to a different med or nothing. I'm irritated with my doctor as well.

Anyone else have these problems?

I’ve been on Biktarvy for 2 years now and I’m doing great on it. Please relax and talk with your doctor about any and all side effects you are experiencing. I hope you get to enjoy the benefits of this drug as I have been

Just found this on WedMD on side effects on Biktarvy which confirms my experience that I had with Atripla in the beginning - https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-174749/bikta...
It says "If experienced (with taking HIV meds), these tend to have a Less Severe expression
A Skin Rash
Abnormal Dreams
Difficulty Sleeping
Dizziness
Gas
Intense Abdominal Pain
Low Energy
Vomiting"
