Hello J, It is a good thing to hear that you finally got all the mess straightened out with the insurance company. Wanted to wish you the best of luck starting your meds. Please remember to take them as prescribed by your doctor.

Thank you all for your support, I haven't really had much of an issue with the Atripla at all, though I do feel the hungover feeling, and a bit of the nausea. I have laughed to myself every morning this weekend, thinking, "If only I was having as much fun as I am feeling!" Sleep is the major issue, i tend to keep late hours with one of my jobs, so I end up having to catch up somewhere, but I feel it will al work out in the end. I will keep you guys poste on my progress, but for now, looks like I prepared for the worst and was pleasantly surprised!!
