Greetings! Well today marks the third day since I have switched from Atripla to Striblild. I can say that so far it has been uneventful. I have experienced almost no side effects that many others have experienced. I have however noticed that at times I have a headache that will come and go. I cannot say that this is exclusively because of the medication though. Tonight as I got out of the shower I noticed that I had developed a rash on my chest/abdomen that radiates across the width of my body to my flanks. I am not alarmed by this when I first start Atripla I developed a pretty bad Atripla-rash. I know that if they rash becomes bothersome that I can take Benadryl for it and I will keep an eye on it.
Regarding my sleep, I can tell a huge difference in my quality of sleep and I am no longer waking up in the middle of the night. The only other side effect that I might be experiencing is heart burn which means I need to eat more when I take the medication. I have not had any other problems though.
When you look at them close up they it simply looks like hives
or areas of raised skin. --------->
