Question 6

i use efavirenz and stocrin truvada (emtricitabine and tenofovir) because of my hiv treatment but can this treatment cause  head ache immediate anger mood swings dizzyness i have?

Accepted Answer

Efavirenz: First, i hope you're not taking both Efavirenz and stocrin, since they're two names for the same drug. Efavirenz can cause mood changes and dizziness. If you didn't have these problems before you started the drug, you should talk to your doctor about a switch. There are plenty of good alternatives.

Question 9

in early preg. having mood swings and very emotional. can this hurt the preg?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Ncreased emitionality during preg can be due hormonal changes and due to psychological stress of adapting to changing life-roles. Women have been experiencing these challenges for millennia without harming pregnancy.  However, if this is disabling, i.e. Keeping you from doing things you normally would, it might warrant an intervention. Best to discuss this with your obgyn soon. Good luck!

Question 10

docs can you explain what is "emotional lability" when it is given as a possible symptom of ms?

Accepted Answer

Unstable emotions: It means that a person will get easily emotional about things that may not normally affect us.  There are several stages of severity. In mild cases, it can just look like moodiness. In severe cases, patients may experience intense feelings of happiness or sadness over trivial issues or even without a clear provoking factor.  They may go from one to the other very quickly. Hope this helps.
