Title: Sustiva/Paxil Good results
Post by: taxi777 on December 03, 2007, 10:14:40 pm
I'm new, my 1st post here trisexual, . I was diagnosed Oct. 3 with a 196 cd4/serious case of Syph in the middle of a horrible out of control bout of Alchoholism came really close to dying with high fever blood blisters on hands and feet, bi-poler PTS, PA. Won't go into detail now. I Freaked out on Sustiva the first couple of nights. Everynight most F'd up nightmares. My Psych put me on 10 mg of Paxil, and the dreams immediately became milder and just an annoyance. I'm up to 20mg and I just have the usual F'd up dreams that I've had all my life but mild and I'm ok with it. Sleeping more, need a big nap during the day. I feel more focused and less edgy more motivated and creative with my music, anger seems to have ebbed a bit. I hope this helps some of you, cause this Forum was a life saver! I've been really alone in this terror.
