That's great news. Thanks for letting us know. Have the side effects mostly gone away now? Was it mostly the wild dreams, or were there other things too?

ive always had weird and wild dreams. The worst only only side effect i had was extreme virtigo.. Still happens from time to time but its manageable for the most part.

That is great news.

I have been taking Atripla for almost two years and have been undected with the exception of a blood test last December. After repeating the blood tests I was back to undetected in January 09 and stayed that way for all the other blood results this year.

Excellent news!!! :) :) :)

Congrats Tommy! That is great news- I'm really happy for you.

thanks everyone.. that was the only bright spot on the whole day not a good day yesterday

supa-dupa man wow and cd4 in the normal range with undetectable ....that's fantastic!

thank you.. yea it was good news and before i started she told me that she doughted it would be that quick to see those kind of results with the CD4 count

That's AWESOME!!!!

That's what happened with me when I first took the Atripla. All my counts dropped to undetectable. I had a "blip" when I changed my meds, however, dr. not too worried about it as she said that it was normal to have the fluctuation. Also have been told to be prepared for a roller coster as at time you will be detectable and then it will return to being undetectable---just the way the virus works in the body as it is always fighting the meds. Also want to mention that just because you are having sex with another poz person doesn't mean you can have unprotected sex as dr explained to me that there are so many different variations of the virus that unprotected sex could cause the virus to mutate and then the meds you are taking stop working.
