03 Mar 2012 Has anyone on atripla experienced reduced libido? This got worse after about 1 month of starting. Even with a low (68) CD4 count and 380k VL, I had not had libido/sex drive problems. Now I do. Has anyone who has switched from atripla noticed a difference in this regard? If yes, what medications did you switch to? Thanks

07 Nov 2010 Apart of some senseless dreams and once a rash all over the body that lasted 2 days I have felt no change at all. It is really easy to take and only once a day. I can only recommend it.

18 Mar 2009 Blindness, hair loss and stroke are NOT side-effects of this drug. Please disregard whoever put that in.
