| My new regiment Jul 31, 2008 I am having a very hard time getting used to this treatment. I am on 3TC 300mg ounce a day, Isentress 400mg twice a day,Selzentry 600mg twice a day, and Intelence 200mg twice a day. I also take zipiclone to sleep 3.5 mg @ night and about 2.00 mg a day in divided doses 05mg for anxiety. I have been HIV since July 1987 and I am running out of options about treatment.The only one I haven't tried yet is Prezista but I am highly allergic to sulfa base drugs. My symptoms are wanting to faint and have mini seizure from time to time. All blood work is OK. VL 74000 cd4 270 @11.20% I have been on this regiment for five weeks and waiting for results. Do you know any other patients with similar combo and sid effects. thank you, Alain. |

Response from Dr. McGowan
We have had patients on combinations that include Isentress, Intelence and Selzentry. The combination is generally well tolerated and since you have been on it for 5 weeks, you should have experienced most of the worst of the early side effects including potential for rashes, etc. Maintaining strict adherence with this regimen is very important since drug-resistance is possible if the virus is not fully suppressed. Good luck with your follow-up blood test. Joe |
