sleeplessnes Oct 13, 2008 Have been on Hiv meds Combivir/ sustiva for past 6 years. Combivir was switch by my doctor to Truvada.So now I,m taking Truvada/ sustiva over past 6 months I have not been able to fall asleep. Was told that Sustiva has that effect on some people . Is there another one only drug that can be substituted that will not give me the same effect as Sustiva |

 Many conditions can result in sleep problems besides HIV or Sustiva so it may be worthwhile to undergo an evaluation by a sleep specialist before deciding that the problem rests solely with the Sustiva. If it looks like Sustiva (efavirenz) is a major factor then a switch to nevirapine, a boosted protease inhibitor, or raltegravir might be considering depending on treatment history and clinical status.
