I got neuropathy symptoms in my hands and feet on biktarvy. Also felt like it somehow affected me mentally. Crazy dreams, moodswings etc. My doctor put me on Dovato as 'it's less drugs and should be easier on the body'. It's worked out great so far. I will probably change to a every 2 month injection in the summer though as they plan to roll it out in my country. Not because i have any issues with dovato but I'm not open about my diagnosis so i feel it's worth trying it out. Will be more comfortable on travels etc..The injection is also a 2-drug regiment so it really seems that less drugs is the way forward. In my mind it's certainly plausible to think it will be a good thing, especially for our long term health.

I started dovato because the combination of biktarvy and wellbutrin gave me stomach pain. Have had no problems since

I was on Genvoya since diagnosed in 2016. But my doctor changed to Dovato about 3 months ago. No issues for me.
