sustiva and depression

I switched a couple years ago to Complera for a brief period that gave me severe depression and worse anxiety so had to stop it too and go back to Atripla. Now I am on beta blockers for the tachycardia, Xanax to help sleep, and Cialis because of the effect the beta blockers have on libido. And I still feel lousy. My labs are good but shouldn't I just switch meds could all this be due to the Atripla?

I stopped PEP 3 days ago and the rash that looks like ars rash ( supposedly from sustiva) has not gone away. More importantly my lymph nodes in my neck are swollen, so much so its difficult to swallow. I am going to go see a doc in Bangkok today. Now I'm really scared. If had the virus it most likely would surge after stopping arvs, causing the lymph node swelling.

Hi, I have been HIV+ for a year and a half,. I started with Truvada and Sustiva, did so well, got undetectable, and moved to Atripula. Couldn't handle that due to the very vivid dreams I was having. I then started Truvada and Isentress and within the past 9 months(going every three for blood work) I went from undetectable status to a viral load of 50, then it progressed to 116, then to 700, got a genotype done and another viral load test and it has jumped to 861.

In June 2005 I tested positive with a VL of 330,000 and antibody test at this time it was non react which for what I have read is negative for the antibodies, I decided back then to start treatment right away (Truvada & Sustiva) due to the high VL, I got a geno and phenotype test done before starting treatment, Dr.

I think i can promisse u its gonna get better , 2 weeks after my first tx i was amazed over the big differens in mood thoughts and everything. Like someone else pointed out.

I had unprotected sex in 28/12/2015 and in 6/2/2016 i discovered I'm hiv positive. My dr ran stds tests and one of them was for hepatitis B. He made hepatitis B sAg qualitative test which came back negative. Then in 16/2/2016 i took truvada plus sustiva as treatment for hiv. Now when I searched for hepatitis B testing i found that it involves many tests. This month i made acomplete hepatitis B panel test which came back as follows: Hepatitis B sAg 0.

I had terrible shoulder pain for about 2 years with Major Depression, and after caving in and finally taking anti-depressants, my only complaint is that I didn't start 1 year and 11 months sooner than I did! It also took away all of my shoulder/back pain. Now it is only sore after I exercise, which is normal and good. :) Good luck, and for your sake I hope it helps!

I have dealt with depression my whole pregnancy you should look into speaking to professional about your depression and looking into joining groups with similar stories so you don't think your the only one. I also found that going shopping even if u don't buy.anything helps you could started planning all the things you want/need for the baby.

I haven't yet found reason for my symptoms. I have negative HIV antibody test result at 16 weeks mark and still have palpable lymph nodes in my neck,under jaw and in my groins. I had a rash on my forehead after exposure and my girlfriend has the same rash now. She also has persistent headaches and stomach aches. I am so scared especially when I see cases like this from the Body: False positive or false negative?

Depression affect all of us at some stage in our lives and is nothing to be ashamed of.It happens to the best of us and often goes hand in hand with other conditions,but there are excellent medications that can help with depression.You and hubby should have a chat to your doctor.

There are different types and classes of medication that people are prescribed for anxiety and depression. There are faster actiing meds like Xanax and Ativan that are used on an as needed basis and are usually prescribed more short term and then there are medications like Zoloft and Prozac (SSRIs) that are prescribed more long term and taken on a regular basis. While these are only two types, there are also multiple other classes of medications that are used in the treatment of both.

Hi all, im 32+3 weeks wth my first and really starting to struggle with the idea of labour I have suffered from anxiety and depression in the past and scared of going back down that route as im constantly thinking negative thoughts about things going wrong in labour. I lie awake at night just going over and over it in my head then im ridiculously tired the next day because ive had no sleep which in turn makes me moody, emotional and lethargic.

Hi I have a major problem. My teenager, who is 18 years old, was charged with a reckless crime. The max sentence is 4 years in prison for this crime. I find myself looking up suicide statistics because I don't think I can handle him going to jail or worse yet prison. I've found a attorney so hopefully he can help .I also have cancer am worried about that. I don't know what to do. How do I survive?

m having a boy and am very excited but within the last week depression and anger has hit me hard. I have outbursts of mixed emotions on a daily basis; screaming, crying, and anger. I seem to not be able to control it anymore. Sometimes I'll just lay in bed and cry for an hour or two and I'm just not sure why. I am happy about my pregnancy but these hormones are out of control. Today I freaked out on my boyfriend and punched a hole in the door.

Before pregnancy I was a very confident and ambitious woman... felt like I could take on the world... when I found out I was pregnant, not going to lie, I was a little confused but accepted the fact I was becoming a mother and worked my butt off to prepare. Now that I'm closer to give birth, I feel super depressed and stressed out like no other that it's hard to concentrate and I have no motivation to go out and do things...

But I just read someplace that depression and mood swings can be part of MS. I am limited as to what I can take for depression. I can't take SSRIs and just tried a low dose of Wellbutrin which fiddled with my BP. Had to go off it. I inject Copaxone 20 mgs daily. Any thoughts? I just wish I could be happier and more motivated in spite of MS.

I was the same way depression and anxiety before pregnancy I stopped cold Turkey on my meds when I found out I was pregnant and I am riding it out I don't want to get on medication I want to protect my baby but my dr said it's worst not taking medication that the baby feels the stress hormones.

I suffer from anxiety and depression. More anxiety then depression (I think), I've had it all of my life and I could always pretty much control it,up till about 12 years a ago. I've seen countless drs and therapist and have not gotten much help. I have uncontrollable feelings of panic,fear,and excessive worry ALL the time. I also have no energy,not even to shower or do "everyday" things that normal people don't even think about.

Your hormones are going to be everywhere while youre pregnant. Be sure to discuss these feeling with you OB the next time you go! If it gets worse please don't wait! Depression is real and it's harmful to you and the baby! It also leads to postpartum depression. Just keep your head up dear!

You will go through this for some time. Real time. Months and maybe a year or more. The subs are known to cause depression and yes your brain is healing. While you are on any opiates your body stops making seratonin. It's your natural happy drug. It takes a long time for your brain to realize that it has to start making it's own natural pain killer again. You may experience anxiety and depression and even have some aches and pains that you never had before.

Im a little over 13w and i have had so much anxiety thinking that something could go wrong and a lot of depression cause the dad cant grow up and it gets lonely doing this by myself. Music seems to help and talking to my sister who just went through her pregnancy.
