So how does Atripla affect you? And what will you be doing? Diving? Operating heavy equipment?

For me, I don't even notice it, though even so, just being up 24hr without sleep would do me in!  In any case, don't eat for 2 hours before or after taking it to avoid the dosage being higher in your bloodstream.

You can always talk to your doctor for advice, though I doubt most will suggest not taking it despite the very minimal risk for missing a single dose. Make it a habit however and problems are sure to come your way in the form of resistance.

as long as you take it everyday, it doesn't really matter just pick a time that works for you and your shift.

I figured it had to be military.  I remember our roommate having to do it, when he was still in.  Anyway, I hope it doesn't cause any issues.  By that, I mean your meds affecting you, as far as making you even more sleepy than you would otherwise, or feeling strange.

Pray God you can cope
