| Response from Dr. Henry Patients can occasionally have nightmares from one of the components of Trizivir (even just AZT seemed to do that for some patients in the early days). If you have no evidence of resistance then switching meds around is an option. I often prescribe a low dose of amitryptiline or trazadone which for some patients helps with drug induced dreams.KH | ||||||||
