So far Atripla has been amazing for me. My numbers are better than they have ever been and my doctor cut back my frequency of appointments.

Started in 10/06. VL 1.05 million. cd4 132. My only side effects ever have been the vivid dreams. Nothing otherwise. Now as of 8/2008, my CD 4 is 664 and my VL has been undetectable since my 1st three weeks on the pill. I love it, and it's saved my life. It's also so convenient. It's my safety net. I was given a few months to live when I began Atripla due to multiple OI's, but this has truly given me back my life! After 7 years w/HIV and then a year of full blown AIDS, I feel better than I ever have in my life thanks to this drug.

My first night was very scary--dizzy and druged feeling. I nver thought of myself as a sick person until today.

My experience has been great so far. I've been on the treatment for about 18 months and my viral load is undetectable (since the first month) and my T-cells have gone from 210 to 550-625. I hope to stay on these meds for as long as possible. The side effects are minimal. I had a terrible rash the first week that I took it, but that was the worst of it. Now, I have the vivid dreams they talk about..but I actually like them! No, really! =)

My numbers are way up from when I started. Side effects get me down sometimes. I sleep ALOT(12 hours out of a day).

When I first started it took a lot out of me and was hard to eat or sleep but now my body has grown accustomed to it and I am doing great, I am completely undetectable.
