Title: 30 days on Complera and it is not a pretty picture.
Post by: red_Dragon888 on October 08, 2011, 05:24:22 am

I have started Complera and I really did not expect these side effects.  For one, I have notice that I get so angry that it may lead to uncontrollable rage.  I usually take it at night so it can run though my system when I am asleep.  But I have gotten high fevers, and night sweats again which I was trying to avoid.  Another side effect is that if I drink coffee, tea, Nuvigil (anti-depression pills) or have alcohol that afternoon, I get a rage attack and feel justified in my rage.  Normally I am calm but me and my lover have been getting into fight and he and I notice that any  stimulants or caffeine will trigger a nasty response later that day.  Now I avoid those things and I plan to get off this medication.  I have never been in so much anger before and it has shown me a side of myself that I never knew before. 

I do think that Nuvigil makes me hyper and angrier anyway, but with Complera, I am just a monster.
