The side effects are many a varied and even two people taking the same drugs can experience very different side effects. The most common side effects are nausea, headaches, tiredness, dizziness and diarrhoea .. but it is generally the case that the more modern the drug is, the fewer the side effects. It is almost inevitable that you will experience one (or more) of these side effects when you first start treatment with anti-HIV drugs; but the good news is that most (if not all) of the side effects tend to fade after a few weeks. If the side effects don't fade and are unbearable, then it may be possible to switch to another combination of drugs - BUT whatever you do, never stop taking the drugs without first speaking to your doctor. Changes in treatment need to be carefully managed and monitored. There are also longer term side effects that you may experience. These can include: reduced sex drive, anaemia, increased cholesterol levels, lipodystrophy, neuropathy, kidney damage and liver damage.
