raltegravir for HIV Infection: I am having a lot of headaches, usually morning and night, and am having a lot of weakness. I've also been nauseous and lightheaded. It's very frustrating but it's only been 2 weeks so I'm anxious to see if it gets better.

Isentress (raltegravir) for HIV Infection: So far, my experience has been a good one. This is my first time being on any medication and my biggest fear was the possible side effects. I have had a slight headache (once or twice), and dizzy a few times. I will take these side effects any day over some of the ones I've seen from other patients. Overall it has been a good experience!

Review by Relieved to off Isentress:

Isentress (raltegravir) for HIV Infection: I had a horrible experience with Isentress. I felt lousy and developed fevers. Once the fevers started I began having trouble urinating. That progressed to not being able to urinate at all. I had to be seen in the ER to be catheterized. Once I stopped taking Isentress the fevers went away, the catheter was removed and I can urinate normally.

Isentress (raltegravir) for HIV Infection: I am so happy today because I was pregnant and it was 50/50 either my baby can also have it. I'm on my seventh month but with the help of my therapy I took the medicine seriously and now I have my baby and he is negative and I look good too. If I don't tell you am sick with HIV you will never know.

Isentress (raltegravir) for HIV Infection: Fantastic so far. Relief of side effects almost immediate. Two smaller pills instead of four larger ones. Still waiting for first post-change blood test.
