Been on bictarvy for about 5 years. No problems, but about two years ago started having diarrhea. I have to take otc anti diarrhea pills to level it out. Other than that, no problems . Well ive seen a couple of people mention memory loss. I have that. I wondered what was causing it. Hmm. If others are experiencing that please let us know. I'm gonna have to mention it to my dr. If that's what's causing it, I want to change medication. Thank you

I have grave insomnia which may or may not be related to Biktarvy. I also have started suffering from memory loss which maybe age related (69).

I've been on Biktarvy since my diagnosis in 2019. I have some nights of insomnia, but otherwise I have no problems,

I'm on biktarvy. It's ok. I've only been on Truvada and Genvoya. IMO. They are all 2000 calories a pill. Other than that. It's been smooth sailing. I think I had some insomnia in the beginning but its gotten better.
