Title: Isentress Side Effects
Post by: twenty5plus on August 14, 2012, 09:50:33 am

Hi,
I started on Atripla and Isentress 6 weeks ago. After about a week I began experiencing insomnia. My schedule is Atripla and Isentress at bedtime around 11:00 p.m. and Isentress alone at 11:00 a.m.. I'm curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing similar symptoms. My doctor says he's never heard of these side effects from other patients. Sure hope I'm not a freak !
Thx

I answered your question in this thread yesterday (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=44706.msg551131#msg551131). It's clearly in the Isentress/Merck literature as the most frequent side effect for this medication so it's disturbing that your doctor isn't aware of this.
