I’ve been on medication since November last year. I have terrible nightmares. They are so bad that I’m only getting 4-5hrs sleep a night. This is affecting me at work. What can I do?

Thanks for getting in touch.

It sounds like you might be taking a medication that contains efavirenz. Please see here: https://i-base.info/guides/734

If this is what you’re taking, the best thing to do is to talk to your doctor. Let them know that you’re having issues and ask them to change you to something else. Depending on where you live, you might be able to change.
