Question
I am feeling sick on Tribuss
27 June 2016. Related: All topics, Side effects, Support.
I’m HIV positive since 2006 and I started meds with Tribuss in 2013. When I drink it my stomach is hurting and hot in the morning I feel like can vomit?
Answer
Sorry, it sounds like you’re not feeling at all well.
Have you talked to your doctor about this? If yes, what did they say?
If no, then talking to them now is a good idea.
Common side effects with Tribuss – mainly to do with efavirenz – usually things like sleep disturbance or changes to your mood. Tribuss can also cause a rash or liver and kidney problems.
Many people have mild side effects when they start treatment, and that includes feeling like you want to vomit, but this usually gets easier.
Your doctor needs to decide what is causing the pain. If this is very bad it’s important you see your doctor quickly in case it’s to do with something other than your HIV meds.

Hi I’m Hiv positive, have been on Tribuss since 2011, I am virally suppressed with CD4 count above 500.
My concern is that I have been diagnosed with Erythema nodosum for more than 5 years now, with on and off symptomatic inflammatory flare ups, my lower limbs are having hyperpigmented scars.
A skin biopsy was done by a Dermatologist and came up with the diagnosis, the only thing he prescribed was non steroidal anti inflammatories which I take Prn.
What can be the cause, what topical ointment can I apply on these scars.
Any second opinion for a dermatologist that can help me deal with this.
Hi Thobeka, how long have you had these sores for? and have you spoken to a doctor?
Do you know what your current CD4 count and viral load is?
I am using tribuss but I have sores in the mouth and they are very painful
