Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I would venture to bet that you are dehydrated.... You need to drink LOTS of water.. These meds are rough stuff Rod. You need water to help get them thru your system. If you are not drinking more than a gallon of water a day, you're not getting enough. That's in addition to what you would normally drink. Water, gatorade, herbal tea.... lots of it. Hugs,TeriOn Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 4:06 AM, Rod <rodgis44@...> wrote: Teri, thanks! No side effects that I can tell yet from the HIV/HCV meds!!!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 RodI was finished my 2nd treatment over a year ago now. However, I still suffer badly with mouth dryness. So, I actually think it is the anti-depressant I take every morning. What a choice, hey? Take the Wellbutrin and have dry mouth or go right off the beam and land in the physc ward.Gloria Teri, thanks! No side effects that I can tell yet from the HIV/HCV meds!!!
