Hi Alex,

The mouth-tingling is a known side-effect of norvir.

I would have to agree that it is the Norvir.  I have the same side effect taking Truvada and Kaletra.  I also experienced it with Truvada Reyataz Norvir.  My doc tells me it's nothing to worry about.

Take care, Pip

Good morning Ray [of sunshine]  :D - The effect happens 30 minutes after I take Norvir and it goes away after about 10 minutes. It happens about once a week

Good afternoon Ann - Thanks  :)

Good morning Pip - Hey!
