I have been using lamivudine, stavudine and nevirapine for 3 years.
My doctor just changed me to Tribuss last month, and its been 3 weeks taking it.
I have this pain in my arms, back of my legs, feel very tired, feel hot inside…Is this normal?
Answer
Hi
These symptoms are not common side effects from the three drugs in Tribuss (efavirenz, FTC and tenofovir).
As with any symptom that you are worried about, please contact your doctor so that s/he can go through your concerns in detail.
This means that your doctor can test for less common side effects or other things that might be causing this.
Hi Lex,
Because your viral load is undetectable it means that the meds are working and working really well. Therefore, I think you need to talk to your doctor about the health issues that you’re having.

Hi William,
Tribuss is not known to cause the yellowing of eyes. This may though be something else that is related to your HIV. What is your CD4?
my eyes have become swollen and yellow is this due to the tribuss?
