 Those sort of central nervous system complaints are common when starting Atripla (generally due to the efavirenz). They usually diminish over the first 2-4 weeks (perhaps 5-10% of patients have persistent annoying complaints of that nature). Taking the Atripla in the AM and/or avoiding meals within hours prior to taking Atripla can help some patients. KH | |||||||||
