Hi there, what are the side effects of Reydin and are there any ARVs that don’t have side effects?
My doctor gave me Reydin and I was drinking it at night at first. My gums started bleeding and after that I had trouble concentrating. I also forget very easily. It is like I’m loosing my mind, what could be the problem?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Reydin is a generic version of TLD. This link is to a previous question about all TLD side effects.
Most ARVs have some side effects but only for some people. Many people don’t get side effects. Sometimes you might need to try different meds if you have difficulty with one.
Reydin does not cause bleeding gums. Have you mentioned this symptom to a doctor?
How are you sleeping at night? Reydin is often best tolerated when taken during the morning. It can cause problems sleeping. If this is the case it would explain why you are having trouble concentrating.
If you have any further questions do get in touch,
Josh.

I was changed from Tribuss to Reydin. My CD4 =1500+,VL=undetectable.
A week after I have used this current treatment, I have discovered itchiness on my neck and it’s spreading on my face and eyes. Suddenly my skin is very dry and leaving dark, pink and white patches.
Must I stop using it?, report to my GP? or continue?
