Members shared a wide range of experiences with Biktarvy side effects in response to someone asking about light dizziness, with dizziness when standing up quickly being a commonly reported issue that many found mild and manageable. Several members described additional side effects including insomnia, night sweats, persistent nausea managed with Phenergan, tinnitus, joint pain, and burning feet, though many also emphasized feeling better overall with good viral suppression and energy levels. A recurring theme was reassurance that side effects often improve with time, the importance of staying hydrated and active, and trusting the process while working closely with doctors to manage any challenges.

I have been on biktarvi for at least 6 months..the nausea has never left but phenergan takes care of that. Has me undetectable and according to my docs is a better medication for overall physical and mental health..I do have a sleep
Aid at night but since my PTSD diagnosis mental health was the ultimate reason for my switch from Atripla..just trusting in my docs ..had the same group since my diagnosis in 1995i
