I Have not Had Any Side AffecTs From Taking This Medication.
101
I CaN Tell Its Working Because My Joint Pain I Was Having Before I Started Taking Triumeq Is Beginning To Slack Off.
102
I Will Post My Labs
103
In Two Weeks" Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "Been on Triumeq for a week now and I am not 100% happy.
104
My last meds stopped working even though I had 100% adherence.
105
Since taking Triumeq I have not slept properly (taking me ages to fall asleep and then waking during the night and taking a long time to go back to sleep) and I am someone who normally sleeps like a kitten.
106
The other thing I have noticed is really itchy skin: face, neck, torso, legs....no rash, just constant itchy feeling.
107
I have had a couple of dizzy spells one of which made me panic and my heart rate went up to 134 (I was just washing the dishes!).
108
I will stick with them as one week is too short a time to decide if I can live with the side effects or if they are just temporary.
109
I will post again in a few weeks."
110
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I have been on this medication for about 6 weeks now.
111
This is the first medication I have used as I just received diagnosis as positive about 2 months ago.
112
At that time my viral load was 10,600 and when we just tested at 5 weeks it was undetectable (<20).
113
I had nausea several days out of the week when I first started taking this, but now it is rare (maybe once every week or two).
114
This med is really working for me and the copay card covers all of what my insurance will not cover."
115
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I am a long term survivor with no HIV related complications, ever.
116
I have never had an adverse reaction to an HIV medication as well.
117
I took the blood test to make sure I was not allergic to the medication.
118
I did my homework on this drug as well, and many people really like it.
119
I was basically bedridden for 19 days, and got off the medication.
120
2 days later, I ended up in the ER with pancreas complications.
121
"Making your life easier with 1 pill a day" is not necessarily the way to go.
122
In my opinion, they marketed this drug too quickly."
123
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I have been taking Trimeq for a little over 12 months.
124
Right from.
125
Very beginning I have had no side effects taking this medication.
126
I do not take any other regular medications which seems to be what is behind the issues some others have.
127
Before infection was was tested for HIV every three months so when I was diagnosed I made the decision to commence treatment immediately.
128
I have not once regretted this decision.
129
The pathology tells the story the best: Last tests before treatment: CD4- 670, VL 36,900 4 weeks after commencing treatment - CD4- 793, VL 43 12 months later - CD4 - 1167, Viral load undetectable Frankly I have never felt better!"
130
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I have been HIV Positve for about 32 years.
131
The last cocktail I was taking for about 8 years was Epzicom and Combivir .
132
A year ago I changed my regimen to Triumeq .
133
Initially, the side effects I experienced were sleeplessness, nausea and stomach gas, these symptoms lasted for about 3 months.
134
Due to the sleeplessness, started taking the medication in the mornings instead of the evenings.
135
The first positive thing I noticed was that my skin became more hydrated and I had less skin eruptions.
136
After one year on the medication I feel very normal , I continue to workout 3 times a week and my energy level is high.
137
My Viral Load remains undetectable and my CD4 went from 800 to 1,150 .
138
I am very happy that I made the switch to Triumeq ."
139
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I recently found out about my positive status on 8/28/14.
140
My prior HIV test was on 8/6/13 and it was negative
141
so I believe I contracted it at some point in 2014.
142
I did not start Triumeq until 12/28/14.
143
The first 2 days about 15 minutes after taking the pill I had a slight headache & minimal nausea.
144
Nothing unbearable though.
145
I have not had any serious side effects and the headaches and nausea no longer occur; again I have only been on this for a little over a week.
146
It does seem like my digestive system is more active.
147
I used to go to the restroom every other day now it seems I have to go every morning.
148
Other than that i have not had and other issues.
149
CD4 is 840 Viral 1170 on initial labs."
150
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "Diagnosed in Feb of 2015 and tried 2 other drugs.
151
The last 2 causes so much nausea and vomiting that I could not take it.
152
Also, it was messing up my liver.
153
My doctor put me on this and I have had little to no side effects.
154
I have nausea but that is only if I take it on a empty stomach and it only last for about 20 minutes.
155
I am undetectable now and my CD4 count came from 14 to 376 the last time I checked last year.
156
I am going back in September to check my progress.
157
This drug saved my life.
158
I was basically on my deathbed before this drug."
159
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I took Triumeq from early 2016 to early 2017.
160
Although it kept my viral load undetectable, I suffered serious side effects: Bizarre dreams, burping and acid reflux, and serious heart diseases.
161
It caused irregular heart beats, and my heart rates went up to 200 beats per minute when I did light exercises (elliptical) which caused blood pressure to drop so low I collapsed.
162
I also experienced blackout for a brief second several times a day, during walking, sitting, and out of nowhere.
163
I also developed a stenosis on my artery, it is fat buildup in my main blood vessel on my neck that caused my blood flow to drop to 40-50% of normal.
164
And if the fat gets detached and goes into my brain, I will have a stroke.
165
Cardiologist said I should not have heart problem because there is no history of heart disease in my family, and I am not overweight, and this problem only started after taking Triumeq.
166
So doctor changed medication to Descovy + Tivicay, and all the aforementioned side effects went away."
167
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I started taking Triumeq almost two years after my diagnosis, I gave the drug a 9/10, as I Have never taken another.
168
I started on the medicine after months of being sick and immunity loss.
169
My viral load was rising and my cd4 was falling fast due to lifestyle choices.
170
Getting on this medicine was a hard decision, but one I would make again, and this time I would do it sooner.
171
Within no time I was undetectable and my immunity doubled.
172
My Dr told me it would not work as quick as it did, so we were both pleasantly surprised on my numbers.
173
It has now been a year, still undetectable and now 9 months pregnant with a healthy baby boy.
174
I would recommend this drug to anyone with HIV who is offered it by their doctor.
175
My side effects include upset stomach."
176
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I was diagnosed with HIV in May 2016.
177
After taking Triumeq for 4 weeks, my CD4 count has gone from138 to 1054 and my viral load 673,000 and now 2280....
178
For me this has been a wonder drug.
179
Absolutely no side affects to date....
180
I have not felt this good in a long, long time :)"
181
Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) for HIV Infection "I started this medication within three weeks of diagnosis in September 2015.
182
My initial concerns and scares about side effects quickly turned out to be untrue.
183
Apart from tiredness and join pain in the first few weeks, I have virtually no side effects from the medication.
184
I take it in the evening and aim to have 100% adherence.
185
It is remarkable what science has done in the last 30 years since this condition emerged.
186
One of the drugs in the pill, dolutegravir has a long binding time and so far has had no resistance.
187
I look forward to the results of trials with dolutegravir monotherapy.
188
This would be even better in using only one drug to control the virus.
189
I would recommend Triumeq to anyone starting treatment or those considering a switch."
