aids medication

Talk to you doctor about a specific medication to try. He/she will have recommendations for you.

No i have not tried that I know Tylenol pm dont help or most generic over the counter sleep aids dont help. Thanks though will be calling ob or pharmacist and asking my questions with them.

if that was the case you would have died or very ill by now especially without medication... So its obvious you didnt catch the virus... And its not a concern.

Im scared but I have no other choice as I have major insomnia and anxiety problems without the medication, and have already attempted to stop, causing several withdrawal problems. I am looking for anybody who has shared a similar experience and can relate to me, and help me through my pregnancy. Thank you , I am only 5 weeks.

thanks a lot that was very helpful. could please answer one more question? would there be a difference between someone taking medication to reduce the viral load to undetectable levels after being diagnosed with aids and someone who has been taking medication to keep viral loads under control all along without progressing to aids at all?

You may still feel sleepy the morning after taking the medication. In patients with liver disorder, a smaller dose of Ambien is generally prescribed. Ambien addiction is a serious problem requiring treatment. The signs of ambien withdrawal are insomnia, fatigue, sweating, stomach cramps, and panic attacks. If a person is addicted to ambien, a doctor should be consulted to seek appropriate professional treatment (Drug rehab programs).

What if the person has aids, not hiv

I have started to have sleep problems since I when on a new medication called zeldox. Gradually I would sleep for less and less. It got to the point that I would take 3-4 hours to fall asleep and only sleep for 4/5 hours a night. I stopped the zeldox and now I can't sleep at all. I have tried melatonin 10mg at night but it didn't work. I tried many over the counter sleep aids but they do not work. Anyone have ideas what can help me sleep?

I know that it is ill advised to continue taking prescription medication for sleep. I have tried to get off them, but the desire to sleep wins every time after about 4 hours of tossing and turning with pain. What I do not know is the side effects? Could this be causeing nerve damage? What else are the side effects and it is better to not sleep?

Eventually over time all people with HIV will be given an AIDS diagnosis--it's the timeframe of when this occurs is what varies.

Really? I've been doing some research on this topic this month and thought it works like this: you get HIV, after few years develop AIDS, no? So if you don't develop AIDS, you don't die early, right? I'm asking because from what I read here, you seem to know this stuff. Thanks.

My first question is, if he got the virus, and never took medication, how long would he live, and if he was on medication would he still be alive today? My next question is.......why? I know nobody really knows, but if you know it will make you live longer why wouldnt you take medication?????

Besides medication some other methods can be ....making sure your bedroom is comfortable. Meaning, besides the insomnia preventing you from sleep you don't have any other factors adding to the problem. If it's hot have an ac or fan. Stay hydrated. Sleep in light clothing, have something to drink near by, make sure all things that interrupt your natural sleep are prevented..like noise and light.

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic (otherwise known as penicillin). It is not an HIV/AIDS medication. It is used to treat a bacterial infection (HIV is caused by a virus). Hope this answers your question.

I don’t have any kind of Hiv risks but I have all the symptoms of aids,my tongue is white always ,I have white lines in my cheeks it started about 5 years ago and still is.

Hi I have a question about HIV/ Aids, I had sex with several partners and I used a condom with everyone of them but one time the condom broke and I stopped the sex and took a shower took a **** and went to a clinic the same day and took a aids test that took 20 minutes and it came out negative and took some medication they were a red green and white pills that changed the color of my piss and now it's been 3 months from that incident so what are the chances of me getting aids and should I b

ll add that experts no longer really disinguish AIDS from non-AIDS HIV infections. The effectiveness of treatment has made the distinction pretty much irrelevant. It's all just HIV/AIDS.

m on heavy duty hypertension medication, one known to cause hearing loss and edema. Since going on these meds when I talk my voice sounds muffled to me. My hearing is also somewhat diminished. I thought perhaps from fluid retention (edema) from blood pressure meds...I went to ENT who wants to insert tubes. He says I have unknown hearing loss besides normal aging. Tubes never occurred to me. I assumed medication, or just getting hearing aids would be the answer.

Stefan. Well this is where it is all going to. Truvada for us. When I was over at UCLA Aids center here in LA six years ago they wanted to give me truvada. In all fairness these hiv infections disease docs know more then the gastro guys that treat us. because they treat patients who sometimes have hiv hbv and hcv infections. But again for us nucs are not needed. They slow down cell growth. Nucs were developed originally for cancer exactly because of it.

Yes I use a sleeping aid, but I dont use a morphine pump, I just use fentynal patches and oxycodone for pain, the sleeping medication my doctor gave me is Remeron, it works very well, its not an addictive sleeping aid and the bonus side effect is appetite so when your too nauseated or just dont want to eat, it aleviates that. The only problem is that Remeron makes me hungry at night, dont know why but thats the time i usually start getting an appetite.

1mg of lorazepam has helped me to sleep (a smaller dose is not effective) but I understand this med. is addictive. I am wondering about switching to one of the melatonin based natural sleep aids, specifically Restaid. Is this medicine safe & effective as a sleep aid? Can it be taken with antihistamines/decongestants which I take regularly for allergies?

Hi doc, I am sure that i got STD from my wife not sure it is chlamydia or gonorrhea, i was given medication by doctor. today is my 3rd days of medication i can feel that i am getting better. my question is how big the possibility of i am getting aids?

That's too much medication Dave. The key to correcting your sleep problem is by correcting your clinical depression. Before I was correctly treated for severe depression and anxiety dissorder, I too was exausted, but could not sleep at night. This is a very common symptom of depression. It's hard to sleep when your mind is racing and anxiety rules. A good antidepressant can correct that problem.

Is it possible that someone has AIDS and tested negative with antibody tests after 6 months of exposure??? And can someone get lipodystrophy 6 months after acquiring HIV?
