For HIV Infection "I was switched to Complera from toxic nevirapine/lamivudine/elsulfaverine. Pluses are: I felt much better, I lost weight on Complera, my belly got slim. My heart became good, I was able to bicycle. My brain and memory got clear to work, I felt much better few years, my blood test was good. Minuses are: I didn't want to eat meat because every hard food made my stomach feel uncomfortable, later in time I found that bread made me feel uncomfortable too. Then saturated fats. Every time something new. I didn't know what to eat. Only salads and eggs. Also, I had a reaction to coffee. The next day I was very nervous (cortisol rising). My eyes got bigger. My face skin looks saggy, older, but I'm only 40 years old. I found in the instruction that rilpivirine (in Complera) causes lipodystrophy. I had constipation, I had a ganglion cyst on my hand, exostosis in my mouth. I became more grumpy and always cared about politics. Finally, I got muscle pain and a gallbladder polyp and decided to switch after 4 years of using. Not for a long time!"

For HIV Infection "I love Complera because it has manageable side effects. I had such side effects as joints pain, depression, nervous, fat on back neck, sleepy, stomach pains, enlarged eyes, smelly urine, teeth more sensitive and cracking, dandruff... But ALL OF THESE are resulting of interaction with food high caffeine and purine!(Coffee, chocolate, meat, pork, tea, cola) I removed all these products and all side effects disappeared! Also I removed all diary products because it affects on legs lipoatrophy. High Fructose products and fruits(Watermelon, honey, sodas and other... ) affects on visceral fat gain, and and slower digest! Almost no bloating and gas after "plank" exercise."
