I've been prescribed Ziagen (Abacavir) 20mg/ml Oral Solution as part of my HIV treatment regimen. I'm curious about the potential side effects and how it interacts with the immune system. Has anyone else had experiences with this medication? What should I be looking out for?

I've been taking Abacavir 20mg/ml Oral Solution as part of my HIV treatment regimen for a few months now, and I've had some side effects that weren't listed in the initial information. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced or knows anything about the following: Headaches that are sometimes severe, especially in the morning, nausea that hasn't been helped by any usual remedies, and bad dreams. I've read the list of possible side effects, and these aren't mentioned. I'm curious if anyone has experienced anything similar or knows if there are any other common side effects that aren't widely known. I've been taking the medication consistently as prescribed, and my doctor hasn't had much advice for these symptoms, but I think they might be related to the Abacavir. I am trying not to worry, but it's tough when some symptoms come and go in waves. If anyone has any insights or similar experiences they'd be willing to share, I'd really appreciate it!
