Emtricitabine / tenofovir disoproxil "I was prescribed PEP after a condom slipped off during vaginal intercourse. As it turns out, I did not need the treatment, and the doctor wasn't supposed to prescribe it to me under those circumstances. I was told side effects were mild and nothing long-term. Developed abdominal issues two weeks in. Was told not to worry, that was normal and it would pass. I was on treatment for one month. It's been eight months since it ended, but the issues have only gotten worse. I'm in crippling pain most of the time. I have trouble keeping any weight on. I'm afraid to eat because I know what will happen after that. It's getting to the point where I won't be able to work soon. I've had several tests done, but they can't figure it out. My life is a living nightmare now. I would give anything if I could go back and not take these drugs. They made me sign a waiver beforehand, which should have been a red flag, I guess. Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE THESE DRUGS unless you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that it is 100% NECESSARY!!!"

"I had a needle stick injury at work. I'm really having a bad experience with this product, my eyes are itching and my vision is affected. My nose is always blocked, and I'm constantly tired. My chest is tight, I'm having difficulty breathing at times. I wish I could just stop the treatment, as I'm emotionally messed up. My hay fever is so much worse. It's really not going well for me. I wish there was another tablet I could take."
