Hi all, so today's the day I'm starting to take meds, Eviplera. Can't say I'm not a little worried about it , and the potential side effects...but we will see.

I'm on my third year of taking Eviplera, I haven't had a single side effect, I'm sure you wont either! Stay strong, it will soon just be a pill a day and forgotten about :)

Hello Superknickers,

I'm on the same meds. I started 8mths ago am now undetectable and have had no side affects. My energy levels have returned to normal- I became quite down on diagnoses-

For me its been a smooth transition, I take at the same time each evening and now its just part of my routine. Wishing you well, yvette x

Aww thanks Yvette, glad it's worked out for you, I'm still waiting to go back for test after being on it for any length of time to see if I'm showing as undetectable.....only time will tell, thanks for the message x

Hi all's going well so far thanks, no side effects so I'm happy, I'll know if I'm undetectable the next time I visit the clinic..fingers crossed. How about you, everything OK?

that's cool. i remember when i visited the clinic 2 weeks after i started treatment and the result came back a few days after and i was told i was already undetectable! it feels great to know that you are in control of the disease and not the other way around! just remember to take your medications everyday.. it is difficult at first but once you adjusted it becomes second nature. :) message me if i could be of any help. :)
