Norvir, Truvada, Reyetaz side efects

by boyblue, Aug 15, 2008 08:09AM
I am looking to speak with anyone taking the med combo of Norvir, Truvada, and Reyetaz.  Wondering if anyone has noted side affects of these drugs.... I have been on this combo for the past 3 years and viral load is undetectable and CD4 is in the high 800's however I have been experiencing major Urinary issues, skin burning/ irritation sensations of all my mucos membrane areas (if that makes sense)  Drs say they are not aware of any of these side affects but I know long term side affects are not really known at this time.... any input would greatly be appreciated....

CD4 was in the 700's   and Viral load was arround 12,000... Been on the meds for just about 3 years.   They had me on Sustive- took that for 1 night and had the WORST side effects- it felt like I took a hit of acid- it was freaky !!!!!

yeah!!! i had this burning sensation while on sustiva but then i was just diagnosed and was happy to be on medications.i thought the burning sansation was actually the viruses  being killed.lol...my  cd4 was 320 when i was diagnosed,but now i'm at 556.hope it keeps rising.i never had any changes in cd4 while on sustiva but now i'm seing some positive changes with my new meds.hope we hang in there while reseachers keep doing their job to come out with a solution for us.good luck

hi everybody,
I'm on this regimen 5 days so far, and so far so good,
at the beginning of treatment cd4 counts were 99,5 will let you know of any changes in 3 months.
ciao!

I have been on it for a few years and the only side effect i had is loose stools. Oatmeal for breakfast daily helped with that. I also have elevated kidney function. Right now i am TTC so they took me off the Truvada because they said that pregnancy can really increase these symptoms so they changed it to epzicom.

I am really surprised no one mentioned anything about the sunken face and chipmunk cheeks. Am I the only one experience these s/i from this combo. I've been on these 3 since 2003. now I am getting comments from people around me all the time regarding my "tired""sick" look.
