Hiv ars or pep symptoms ?

Hey I had sex with a guy who removed the condom during sex so started pep treatment.within hours
After starting the pep my glands were up and I felt terrible with diarrhoea and severe head pains. I couldn't cope with the side effects so stopped the pep after only 3 days. Since stopping and it's been 5 days now the diarrhoea has only just stopped and I still feel groggy. It's been 8 days since my exposure and last night suffered night sweats.
Am I now having night sweats due to hiv ars or is this due to pep....I suffer with anxiety and this is driving me mad :/

It is not related to ARS, could be PEP still or could be anxiety
