I live in Brazil and i have been diagnosed with HIV in December 2014, started Atripla February/21/2016. It´s been 1 week i am using it and i am feeling very useless already, i feel lightly dizzy during the day, then after 3 days started feeling a heavy fatigue and weakness and accelarated heartbeat, significant weight loss and mind confusion. IDK if it will all fade away as my body gets used to it but it seems not to be working for me as for most of the users that related Non or little side effects. Will be updating my status in a month.

When I was diagnosed, my CD4 was less than 600 and my copy count was in excess of 350K. Within 6 months of starting treatment, my CD4 was up to 970, and my viral load was undetectable, and I've remained this way for over 2 years.

My skin is always dry, I gained 30 pounds and I keep a yeast infection all the time. I want something less toxic.
