Atripla And Depression?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I've been on Atripla for about 9 years now. I didn't notice it until recently but I have had mountains of mood swings, terrible depression, and I feel anxious so so often. There's also this fear this odd fear of just "doing" anything. Has anyone experienced this?

Does Anyone Experience Any Memory Loss Or Trouble Focusing On Atripla
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Taking atripla since August 2012, have always experienced a slight feeling of not being able to focus, or feeling somewhat “foggy” in the mornings after waking up, or not being able to think out step by step how to handle something in a stressful environment. Also forgetting small things here and there. Not sure if it could be related to atripla, but these issues didn’t come about until I started It almost 6 years ago

I think moving up in age is the reason for my memory loss.

Hi. Anyone Experience Dental Issues Related To Their HIV Meds?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone experience dental issues, such as cavities, loss of, or soft enamel and/or gum erosion as an adverse effect of their HIV meds, Atripla, specifically? I've been taking Atripla since it became available, 10+ yrs ago, and I'm having these dental issues, despite taking care of my teeth. My dentist thinks it's from the meds causing dry mouth, so that bacteria thrives in the mouth, softening enamel at the gumline, creating a good environment for cavities to form.

My cousin has been HIV positive for several years and the dentist had to pull all of his teeth and he has dentures as a result of meds. I’m not exactly sure what he takes. Blessings!

Are You A Long-term Survivor?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Being a long-term Survivor has its many setbacks. One of them being loneliness and feeling left out. With the new generation of Atriplas, many of us long-term survivors experience feeling forgotten.

Can A Person Sell Their Unused HIV/AIDS Medication On The Street?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

My friend's Doctor changed his medicine and now he's no longer taking atripla. He has got to recoup some of this cost and the pharmacy won't buy this back. Is there a legal way he can sell these pills? He's sure someone out there needs them. How much can he get per pill?

A myHIVteam Member

Donate any unused HIV meds to your local AIDS foundation. They will make good use of it. Trying to resell these is unethical especially if you did not pay the full cost of the meds and it was paid for… read more
