I need HELP to understand my meds!!!!!
Sep 13, 2006

I just recently bumped into this website and it is very helpful.I have been diagnosised since 2004 W/TC29. I started out with Sustiva, Epivir,& Viread.I did well because of depression I stopped taking meds for a year. I snapped back into reality this year in March so my doctor resume my meds, as you all know I became resistant. I have to question the new combination that I take now Viread,Norvir,Reyatez,& Ziagen. I been taking them for a week now and I feel lousy. Should I be feeling like this and I am reading articles where it states that those meds are not good combination. Is that true?

Response from Dr. Wohl

I wonder in what ways you are feeling lousy? Ziagen is associated with a hypersensitvity reaction which can take many forms but generally makes you feel like you have the flu plus there can be a rash. The feeling is usually worse right after taking the medication.

You need to see your doctor as this reaction can be serious.

The regimen itself is not so bad.
