HIV Infection
"I have been using Atripla now for about three months. I haven&#039;t gotten my second blood test. However, when I began taking Atripla my CD4 was 386 and my viral load was 85K. I was experiencing acute respiratory problems. As soon as I began taking Atripla within several weeks my lymphnodes began to shrink and the respiratory issue (persistent cough) went away.

Side Effects: 
Severe Drowsiness (&quot;Drunk Feeling&quot;) - 24hrs
Severe Nausea - 24hrs
Vivid Dreams - 2 weeks (Mostly clowns and snakes)
Sleepiness - 2 weeks ... I still only take Atripla at night, but it no longer makes me as sleepy as it did when I first started taking it

I do not yet know how my numbers have improved. I&#039;ll report back in a few weeks with those."
