HELP! I CAN'T SLEEP!

[Guest guest]

Hello Everybody,

Need your guidance, After a bad case of psoriasis I was diagnosed poz

back in march this year VL 114,000 and CD4 108 - I was put on meds on

April Sustiva and Combivir, then switched to Sustiva and Truvada and

then to Atripla, My VL went undetectable and my CD4 increased to 306

as of my last lab work of September.

I never had any serious health problems or with the meds until about

a month ago when I started to have problems to sleep so I asked my

doctor to give me something that would help me fall asleep and stay

sleep, until we found the reasons for my problem, he then prescribed

Ambien and AmbienCR, it worked at first but now I'm taking from 4 to

5 pills a night to get a very poor quality sleeping.

My doc thinks it might be the sustiva, so he put me ONLY on Truvada

for 15 days without results... Woldn't the sustiva be out of the

system by now??. To rule out any thyroid problems my doc send blood

tests and it just came back today apparently within normal ranges

Free T4 1.0 and TSH 3.02 I'm very concern since I don't seem to

concentrate at work and and feel very tired. I think my doctor is

just guessing. Sorry to come out so desperate but my doctor went on a

extended trip and I'm burning out, please help! Any suggestions??

Happy holidays!!
