Depression and perhaps confusion could be Sustiva-related. In most people, these issues clear up within six weeks or so. The fever, chills, and blood pressure (did you measure it?) problems don't sound like problems related to Atripla, but again, talk to your doctor. The flu like symptoms are non specific, and you should probably be looked at.Advise from anyone on the list to act against the counsel of your doctor may be well-intended, but still irresponsible. Stopping and starting Sustiva containing regimens is an invitation to resistance, and the loss of an entire class of drugs. Barrowpozbod@...
