Close HIV
Diagnosed February 1986. Biggest challenges are depression, HIV-caused depression and various side effects of the meds (which ironically also include depression). Did I mention I'm depressed?
Treatments
- Bactrim DS Not Working
- Allergic/sensitive to sulfa drugs.
- Biaxin Somewhat Helpful
- Took it during a high risk infection for as long as deemed necessary. Horrible aftertaste that actually woke me up. I had to sleep with Certs by the bed.
- Combivir Working / Worked
- Currently taking this drug
- Crixivan Not Working
- Gave me what is popularly known as "Crixigas" which is about ten times worse than dog farts. I'm not kidding; I woke myself up with that smell. I had to stop taking it.
- Epivir Somewhat Helpful
- I was prescribed this drug before the advent of the cocktails that included protease inhibitors and consequently the drug lost its effectiveness over time. I'm not blaming the doctors. They just didn't know any better at the time.
- Kaletra Working / Worked
- Currently taking this drug. It does move the fat around in my body so I have skinny legs, no butt and a belly, and it gives me diarrhea, and it causes depression. But it has kept the viral load down.
- Norvir Somewhat Helpful
- Allergic to this drug when prescribed in full dose, however I can tolerate it as a component of Kaletra.
- Retrovir Somewhat Helpful
- This was my first HIV drug, before the docs knew that prescribing them 1 at a time made them ineffective over time.
- Sustiva Somewhat Helpful
- A little like an acid trip the first week or so. I had to stop it because of sky-high cholesterol and triglycerides. It also gave me diarrhea and made me fat.
- Videx Somewhat Helpful
- I was prescribed this drug before the advent of the cocktails that included protease inhibitors and consequently the drug lost its effectiveness over time. I'm not blaming the doctors. They just didn't know any better at the time.
- Viramune Somewhat Helpful
- One of the first HIV drugs to start packing the weight on me, this one also gave me such bad diarrhea that I had to go home from work at lunch time every day -- sometimes to change my pants by the time I got there! Oh, the glamour.
- Viread Working / Worked
- Currently taking this drug
- Zerit Somewhat Helpful
- I was prescribed this drug before the advent of the cocktails that included protease inhibitors and consequently the drug lost its effectiveness over time. I'm not blaming the doctors. They just didn't know any better at the time.
- Ziagen Somewhat Helpful
Close Gay Men's Challenges
Gay at least since Mickey Dolenz was on TV in "The Monkees" but I didn't catch on 'til I was 22. I don't think I realized Mickey was just a mediocre drummer til I was past 40.
