Hi,
This is about Valtrex, dosing, and how I can't seem to tolerate it.
So I'm a patient at the CFS clinic at Stanford. Dr. Bonilla is set on my taking Valtrex. (I have the generic 500mg tablets, made by Aurobindo.) The prescription was initially 500mg tablet twice a day.
But, Off and on for several months, I have tried to take it, but unsuccessfully. A few days I have tolerated a quarter tablet. But often even a quarter tablet makes me so ill I can't walk. Dr. Bonilla said I can take a smaller dose, but eventually I'm supposed to move up, and I can't. After being off it for a while, I'm back to trying like 1/16 of a tablet.
Hard to know if it's doing anything! I feel like I'm making zero progress. My health is terrible. What should I do?
thanks,
Laura
