HIV Infection
"I have been taking Atripla for just over 24 months. I was recommended to start after my CD4 dropped to around 400 after 2 years of contracting the virus. I was advised to take before bed, did this for the first 2 months and suffered vivid dreams and also insomnia, 3 months later a month of diarrhea. I decided to move my dose until around 5pm on an empty stomach so I could then eat my dinner for around 18:30 each night. Usually go to bed before midnight and have had no further issues with sleep or any other side effects. CD4 on average around 1000  and undetectable. Just weird having to take medicines when you feel fine. I hope I get another 20 years from this medication, by this time I&#039;m sure there will be advancements in treatment."
