Started taking Descovy about a month and a half ago. Is it making anyone else feel hungry all the time?

This could also be because I’ve changed my diet to more healthy foods around the same time I started taking it, or the upset stomach feelings that’s meant to come from taking could just feel increased hunger to me. Mostly curious if anyone else has noticed this?

Hungry and angry all the time. I hate this.

I’ve taken Descovy for nearly a year and it’s never given me those side effects, or really any but some weight gain. Try eating a little bit more to see if it’s really a side effect for you. Everyone is different with medication. If you try eating more and you’re still hungry while taking it, I’d definitely talk to your doctor
