Yes, Izzy. I am currently taking Viracept plus two nucleosides with great success and it is very well tolerated.. I never had to take immodium. Occasionally, I get diarrehea but I attribute this to either drinking excessive alcohol or eating a lot of garbage. My viral lode is now undetectable and T-Cells over 500 even though I miss dosages from time to time.

It was two years ago that I began PI therapy with Saguiniver which failed (incidently, this precludes me from taking the newly approved Fortovase). My doctor added Norvir (another PI) and then I began experiencing severe gum and toothe aches. I Being Frustrated, my doctor then persuaded me to go with Viracept. By the way I hated Norvir because it has to be refrigerated. You have to hide it in the refrigerator to keep people from knowing you have Aids (also difficult for traveling).

I attend the Aids treatment seminars monthly in New York City and Viracept is by far the most popular PI. Crixivan is also excellent but must be taken with strict dietary requirements. You Must drink a lot of water with it (to prevent kidney stones) so one has to go to the bathroom all night.

Other PWA's at the seminars tell me if Viracept had been available when they began Crixivan, they would have definitely opted for Viracept.

Viracept has been out for less than a year and is by far the best Protease Inhibitor, being the most user friendly.

Once Wall Street finally figures this out and believes it, the stock should double over night. Sales wil tell the story.

I love Viracept and own the stock.
