BurdenNot at all hard to take
Dosage:
2 x 300 mg-150 mg-300 mg
Daily
Advice & Tips:
Side effects can all be treated with other drugs like Loperamide and Benadryl. I stopped taking it and Viramune when my insurance started charging 25% copay and Atripla was cheaper. My doctor said since I was stable I should be OK and there could be a benefit from fewer meds going through my liver. I feel good and am expecting my CD4 and weight to rise

Advice & Tips:
Either this or my other HAART, viramune, seems to be slightly antiviral toward common colds. It's a different sniffle than allergies, and I hit it with Zicam as soon as I notice it.
Also, with these drugs I don't need sleeping pills. I drop right off within 1 1/2 hours.
