Hi Lungile, how are you doing?

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing these side effects. What time of the day are you taking Odimune? Often it is recommended to take Odimune in the evening to sleep through the side effects. Also it is common to experience heavier side effects in the first few weeks as your body adjusts.

Has anything changed since December? Are you taking any other medication? Has there been a significant change in your life? Do you know your CD4 count and viral load?

If your side effects do not lessen or are impacting on daily living this should be discussed with your doctor.

Josh.
