After 3 1/2 years of treatment VL still undetectable and Cd4 >600. My side effects include insomnia, depression, anxiety, mood swings, irritability and moderate/ severe bone density loss. Experienced a vivid dream once after the 1st dose. Until 5 months ago I managed all symptoms except bone loss with medicinal marijuana. It only helps with the insomnia at this point. Started on a Calcium w/ Vitamin D supplement for the bone loss. Plan to talk to my ID physician about changing my regiment due to the bone density loss and the depression. I'm too young to be concerned with osteoporosis and I have a long life ahead of me to live it in bed.

Also have tried pain killers along with low dose xanax. Didn't work. Also tried neurotin and similar drugs all to no avail. The Tegretol has been the mos helpful.
