« on: December 07, 2013, 02:42:39 am »

I never had any migraines at all the three years I was on Isentress, but maybe your body is reacting badly to it.

Sorry you're having to deal with this on your birthday!

Possible, It was listed as an "uncommon" side effect in the European drug approval documentation.

I take Isentress and have for slightly over two years. BUT I don't think there is a correlation between my migraines and my regimen. Nearly all of mine are weather-related and depending on weather patterns can happen multiple times per month.

Thanks all.  Maybe it was due to weather change here in Texas.

I've had chronic daily headaches (with some being migraines) for 2 1/2 years. I'm also on Isentress but only since last March and found no changes for better or worse.

Sorry you had such a sucky Birthday gift Mikey. :P Hopefully you can get relief soon. I feel for you.
