6. I used to take the Sustiva/Reyetaz combo. It is the Sustiva in the Atripla that causes the dreams.

Vivid dreams is a nice way of saying it. I had terrible nightmares, night sweats, and other problems. I would wake up screaming, so drenched in sweat I had to change sheets. I took it about a year before I even mentioned it to my doctor because I never knew that was a side effect. (I guess I should read those pamphlets in the prescriptions!) When I finally mentioned it, she took me off and I have not had any problems.
