UPDATE OF MEDS: As some know, I “once again” asked my doctor to change my medication regimen! I took Trizivir for 10 years. It was a good medicine but I noticed that my red blood cells were enlarged. I have always been adherent, but I asked my doctor to change me to Atripla almost 4 years ago. This was also a good medicine, but I knew it was time for a change because of the Sustiva in it. I am so happy that I am proactive with my treatment and I discussed with my doctor that I wanted to change to Tivicay and Truvada. I started last night and I had no side effects and did not wake up today with any effects or the hangover-like state that I was always in with Atripla in the mornings. I had an awesome good night sleep and this is a good thing! Follow your instincts!
ACTUALIZACION DE MEDICAMENTOS: Algunos saben que tome el medicamento Trizivir por 10 anos. Esta era una buena medicina, pero note que mis células rojas estaban engrandecidas en los laboratorios y decidí cambiar el régimen de medicinas. Siempre he tenido mucha adherencia, pero le dije a mi medico que quería cambiar al medicamento Atripla y estuve en este régimen por casi 4 anos. El medicamento Atripla me sirvió mucho, pero necesitaba cambiar el medicamento por es Sustiva que tiene el Atripla y sus efectos en el sistema nervioso. Entonces hable con mi medico y le dije que me cambiara a Tivicay y Truvada. Empecé anoche y no tuve absolutamente ningún efecto secundario o como me sentía cuando despertaba, con la cabeza embotada. Dormí muy bien y esto es algo súper bueno para mi!!! Sigue tus instintos.
Atripla
I've been taking Atripla for 10 years now. What you have to do is take it when your getting ready to lye down. Do not take it if you don't plan on going right to sleep. It did me the same way. I was seeing and hearing thing and feeling weird. The symptoms will go away.
