"This made me break out in broken blood vessels that became swollen. My lower extremities began swelling up first, I had had issues with swelling in my legs before, so I thought that was it, but it became much worse than I had ever experienced. It spread to my arms. I got red and blotchy and itchy. At that time, after a week and a half of misery, I realized it was the drug. My previous treatment worked fine, I don't know why they had me switch. I assume to try out the new drug. I've learned my lesson: 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.'"

"Just started on Prezcobix. My Dr. moved me off of Isentress because it was causing me joint pain. Usually, I've done really well on my HIV meds. Been taking them since 1996. Just getting started on this one, though. They are large, but sort of flat, so somewhat easy to swallow. Just pay attention to how you swallow them. No side effects while first starting, so I was glad of that. I'll do another review after I've been on it for more than 7 months to a year. Thanks."

"I switched from Epzicom, Reyataz, Norvir to Epzicom, Prezcobix. So far, I got an itchy rash on my arm, my viral load has gone up. Gives me insomnia, swollen legs, back pain, really bad insomnia. I would not recommend this to anyone. The original regimen I was on just gave me insomnia, so I am going to switch back and hope my viral load goes back down."
