Im still using Atripla. I have been on it for 8 years. Definitely not one of the newer drugs but works for me. I take it once a day at bedtime because it makes me drowsy. No major side effects other than usual dreams and drowsiness.

I take Dovato and the husband 🙄 takes Symbalta. That pill is huge tho (to me)

There are some that are better for people who are treatment naive vs. someone who is treatment experienced.
I would speak to your provider and have him/her share the pros and cons of each.
The two I see most people using are Biktarvy and Genvoya.
I'm still on Isentress and Truvada. I don't want to switch because this regimen doesn't have a lot of problems with other meds. As I've gotten older, the number of pills filling my medicine cabinet seems to have multiplied.

Biktarvy is one of the best there is. so your doctor about it.
