For HIV Infection "A year in on Complera and feeling extreme fatigue, and 3 times a day I become dizzy, that I have to sit and wait for the dizziness to go away. I express this to my doctor, and he assured me it was the medicine. Now I am experiencing tingling, numbness in my hands and feet. My balance is unbalanced. Not to scare anyone. I have been positive for 2 decades and started treatment a year ago. I hear a lot of news about doctors saying it may be low B12 vitamin. However, I know for sure what is the cause, the Complera. I never felt these effects before in my life till now!"

For HIV Infection "Just started on Complera a month ago. This is my first medication, and I have to say I am very happy with it. Like others, I waited over a month after I got my first prescription before I started taking it. I was more scared of the medication then when I first found out six years ago I was positive. The first couple of days, I had some dizziness and fatigue, and I have experienced some gas. However, they have all subsided. I have read a lot of people have problems taking it with a 400-calorie meal. I was never a breakfast eater, but decided I would take my pill in the morning. I have half a whole wheat bagel with two tablespoons of peanut butter (325k) and half a cup of cottage cheese (110k) for a total of 435. Very light meal but provides the calories."
