Post by: surv30 on October 05, 2013, 03:59:25 pm
Hi there,
I have been in Truvada and Issentress therapy for over 3 years now and I just started to experience stomach pain, nausea all day...I felt these symptoms about two weeks ago but not as bad as today...can someone has experience these symptoms? Should I consider a change in therapy?.... Please help

Why do you think the stomach pain and nausea you are experiencing now are due to your meds?

I never have had this type of stomach pain or nauseas before, and i am thinking could be related to the long term use of the meds since I experience the pain usually one hour after taking the meds...but since yesterday I have the pain and nauseas most of the time....

I'm thinking that many meds can exacerbate your current condition. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. Sounds like you may have another unrelated issue going on here to me. Have you talked about this to a doctor?

i just came back from the doctor today and she put me in zofran every 8 hrs...my nauseas are controlled but stomach pain continues:/ the mD said that if the pain gets worse i should go to a Hospital....she thinks it is a stomach virus...but i have no fever though..only strong headaches and tiredness along with the stomach pain and stomach rumbling...
thanks for your replies you all...
