Anybody have idea what are possible side effects of these 3 medications?I started taking them since couple of days ago and meennnn i have problems swallowing.At night my throat is in a mess,i cant swallow and swallowing becomes very difficult.
Are these the best for CD4 as low as 130?
Whiles i have no very large side effects,i am a bit worried about the weakness in in ankles and numbness of feet.Throat pain is since i started the meds.
Advice....PLS.....

Have you read the inserts that come with the meds? You'd be surprized how many fold don't. Try to get in touch with your doctor and perhaps the pharmisist MAY know . If your having a hard time taking the meds break them in half . Take some applesauce or better yet yougurt to coat stomach and throat. It's a trial and error thing for every individual. But again try to speak to doctor or at least give the message to one of his assistants.

My partner is on truvada, prezista and norvir and never experience any noticeable side effects from day one. He start his medications about 8 months ago. Usually, this combination of therapy doesn't normally have severe side effects, though there are always exceptions. Before you panic and blame it on your medications, see your dr. I definitely wouldn't adjust them without doing this. It's possible your symptoms are totally unrelated.

You may also want to consult a dr. in the ask an expert section of the website. Good luck!
