Post by: NewJoy123 on March 10, 2011, 07:16:04 pm

Hello I was wonder if anyone have experience with Isentress, intelence, prezista and norvir my Doctor switch me to these meds today because I continued to complain about Weight gain with my other combination of reyataz, viread, norvir and didanosine. I exercise 6 days a week I eat right and I've been gaining weight. I would like to know with this new combination will I began to changes in my body for the better. I am ready to stop taking protease inhibitor (prezista) for a while because of the weight gain it’s really becoming depressing.

I guess so sweetheart, I'm not a miracle worker or a weight trainer.  Decrease your calorie intake and increase your cardio for six to eight months.

Lol I'm sorry I wasn't clear the reason for the switch was because on my old combination I was undetachable and my tcells are great but my others labs were going to hell and I was gaining a lot of weight. I've working out and dieting (lifestyle change) for a while so my labs should have been better. I have always been pretty healthy and active. Its good to know that things wont get worst.
