Hey there I just recently started treatment(Atripla). Only been 1 week 2 days and no major side effects like i was told, other than 1 dream the second night. I am not sure if this counts but I have notcied my I am eating way more than I used and slight trouble getting to sleep. Im hoping my counts will be good at my next dr visit wich is in a few weeks.
I was just wondering if the increase in appetite was normal or just me. CD4 -220 VL - 99000 Posted on 10/16/09, 01:10 pm |

Hi , i started Atripla 6 months ago and this was my first treatment, i was told loads of stuff like major side effects and worried my self silly, 6 months down the line, i can say apart from the dreams i have had no side effects, not noticed i eat more but i eat loads anyway, lol, the only point i will mention is if you eat a coulple of hours before or after your atripla this can have an effect on your dream so try not to eat a couple of hours before , some people cant take to Atripla but loads do and its an excellent tablet , i take mine at 11pm, and took me 5 months to get undetectable but got there, dont worry about it mate im sure you will be fine, Nathan

You lucky bastard! LOL
I'm so glad it is working for you. I wish I could have stayed on it, but I am allergic to sustiva. Got the dreaded "rash". Consider yourself lucky. Most everyone gets the dreams, stomach issues, etc.

LOL well funny you say something about the rash. Day 12 and I now have a rash everywhere. But Dr said might be from the ambien. Since ive been having trouble sleeping last few days and just started that. Hopefully we Ill find out in a few days.
Rash sucks itches like crazy. especially when i walk then the bottom of my feet start to itch like mad. LOL

I do count my self very lucky but hey its not all a bed of roses, the dreams are intense, but not unlivable, The Dr said to get some charcoal sweets what would help with any stomach issues , but not tryed them up to yet, with regards to feet, they sometimes do go very red but again was recomended simple intensive foot cream from the body shop, again not tryed it yet but will get some soon, once my plaster is of, lol xx
