I've been working with Dr. Dantini for about six months. I love him and his nurse, Jo. They couldn't be more supportive. But I've been taking the Valtrex 3000 mg per day at full dose for nearly five months. I definitely saw improvement.
But now, I'm in a big flare up and they insist that I will need to take the meds for probably a year. They say if I get off it now, I'll revert to where I was before.
My gut feeling is that it's time to get off the drug, but I'm scared that they are right. My flare up isn't quite as severe as it used to be. Still, I'm feeling concerned about taking this level of anti-viral for this long.
I guess I'm wondering what would be the worst that would happen if I got off it to see how I do?
And I wonder if there is anyone who has gone through it and stayed the course. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Susan
