hi there,
I recently got on the Pridgen protocol (celebrex, 200mgx1 and famvir 500mgx2) and i initially started getting a substantial amount of energy. This was definitely surprising because i was 100% sure this was a quack solution. But being completely out of options i tried it. And it was in fact pretty helpful!
Until about 3 weeks after starting the protocol when i began having some weird symptoms at nights. I started feeling agitated, anxious, restless and generally a bit out of control and feeling a bit manic.
Interestingly the only other time i felt this way was when i tried NAC (n-acetylcysteine) or when my OCD was high (I have had OCD since before CFS).
So I stopped the famvir and the odd feelings went away but so did my gains in terms of energy.
My question now is:
1) could this have been really caused by famvir? i didnt read this in the side effects lists!
2) has anyone else had similar experiences with famvir? and if yes, what did you do to fix it?
3) pursuant to (2), should i lower my dose or just switch to a different antiviral?
4) isnt it a bit odd that i made improvements in terms of energy in less than a month? (i thought it would take at least 6 months)
Thank you all and sorry about all the questions!
Addendum:
A) Blood tests for viral titers:
* Herpesvirus 6 IgG 1:20 REFERENCE RANGE: <1:10
* HHV-6 DNA Not Detected
* CMV DNA Not Detected
* EBV DNA Not Detected
* VZV IgG Result Positive, VZV IgG Level 1.49 Index
* MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIA AB IGG 1.47 REFERENCE RANGE: <=0.90
* Herpesvirus 6 IgG 1:20 REFERENCE RANGE: <1:10
* HSV-1 IgG Result Negative
* HSV-2 IgG Result Negative
* EBNA IgG Result Positive
* EBNA IgG Level 2.93 ISR
* EA IgG Result Negative
* VCA IgG Result Positive
* VCA IgG Level 7.77 ISR
* CMV IgG Result Positive
* CMV IgG Level 16 UA/ml UA/ml
B) Some additional information:
* I have also trigeminal neuralgia as well as some misc neurological symptoms
