You have had PEP ( post exposure prophylaxis ) and not PREP. PEP is after a potential sexual risk and PREP is to protect before. If you stop early, there could be a risk of hiv transmission, as the clinic thought your risk was enough to warrant PEP . You need to contact them and discuss your symptoms, as they may not be related to your PEP medication.

Do you think the person u had sex with had HIV? Seems z bit extreme

A sexual health clinic would have made a risk assessment and provided PEP only if they thought it was warranted. PEP is very safe and prevents HIV transmission, but there is a small risk of serious side effects, about 1 in 10,000
