Recently, I was prescribed by my ID Dr to take the 1 pill cocktail (of Lami-Teno-Efav). In fact, I'm on my 3rd day now. However, I noticed that some of the side effects, which I initially felt before, are here again, like: having a hard time sleeping at night (after taking the med).
1. Can you please ask your doctor if it's possible that the side effects would possibly recur (upon taking the 1 pill cocktail)? despite the fact that the body already had probably adjusted with the previous multi-pill ARV?
Hi.
Thank you for your email. I am glad that you like reading the blog.
ARV adherence requires one to take the medicines at the same time everyday. In your case, if you prefer to take it at midnight, then you can do so. My only worry is that one, waking up two hours after bedtime disrupts your sleep cycle and second, there is still a possibility that you might not wake up even with the loudest of alarms. However, if you prefer that way, then you can still do it.
I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
