Living with Wilson's Disease: My Experience with Trientine HCl 250mg Capsules
I was recently diagnosed with Wilson's disease and started treatment with Trientine HCl 250mg capsules.

I've been on Trientine for a few years now, and it's been a lifesaver. The side effects were rough at first, especially the nausea and fatigue, but they eventually subsided. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid direct sunlight, as it can exacerbate skin sensitivity.
I've experienced mood changes, which can be really tough to deal with. I've started seeing a therapist to help manage them. It's been a great help so far. I hope it gets easier with time.
I take it with food to mitigate the nausea. Also, zinc supplements have helped me a lot.
I'm new to this and feel overwhelmed. What's the best way to track my copper levels and symptoms?
Avoid taking these with antioxidants. I made this mistake and felt horrible the whole day.
Trientine is a big deal for folks with Wilson's disease. I'd recommend others ask their doctor about this drug if they are considering it. Also, do some research and be proactive about side effect management.
I had very bad reactions at the beginning, but its been much better in the last few months. I got the feeling that my body needed some time to adjust.
I've had some really bad joint pain and muscle aches. My doctor suggested increasing my dose gradually. It's helping but it's a slow process. Hang in there!
I've had no side effects whatsoever. How lucky can one get?
