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.

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.
