LOVE IT UNDETECTED IN 30 DAYS

Tenb (HIV)
its okay and i have adjusted very well to the drug. no side effects so far, but l do alot of cleansing and detoxying to clear my sytem of the toxins from the drug.
Working / Worked
I take 1 pill before bed and its working out great. I usually eat dinner around 5pm and take the pill at around 9pm. If I get up to use the Restroom, I have to be careful because it does make me very dizzy. However, by morning the dizziness has gone. I do have alot of nasea during the day, but not sure if its related to the Atripla, as I am also taking two Antibiotics (Septra & Zithromax) in the morning.
Working / Worked
Worked but stopped because it was making me depressed and anxious. Felt drugged up, vivid dreams and panicky.
Working / Worked
Due to a resistant strain, been my med for almost three years with great results, with abysmal #s in the beginning. I still have the "dreams", but as a visual artist/writer and musician, my ID Dr. was not worried about me having a "Psychotic Episode" since I also have a severe anxiety disorder. I do have nausea in mornings, and GI issues for over 4 months with all kinds of tests--all negative, wondering if anyone else gets the human-soft-serve-machine-syndrome with Atripla?
Peace,
Robert

Atripla is the only drug I've taken and I hope to keep it that way. It's fine as long as you take it right before you go to sleep. If you take Atripla and stay up it gives you a dizzy feeling that takes a while to wear off... Other side effects include nausea, diarrhea and sleeplessness. However i guess it's working my counts are great...
