HI i would love to get some ideas around making this decision..
i have been trying valtrex since Jan.. i started at 500mg 2x a day and did ok for the first few weeks then i felt horrible and very depressed ( i think the depression was the worst part of "horrible") so i cut it back to 500mg 1x a day..
AND
I am thinking of going back to the acyclovir.. I don’t seem to do well with the Valtrex, or maybe I should buckle down for a month and see if I can get through 2 doses a day at 500mg of the Valtrex??
I looked way back at my labs when I first started the acyclovir and my titers had actually gone down-after a few months on acyclovir. I can’t remember clearly and didn’t take such good notes but I believe I stopped taking the acyclovir consistently and had cut back the dose when i was taking it. which would explain why my titers started going up again.. i thought the medication wasn't working but i realize i wasn't taking it as i was supposed to.
If that is the case than the acyclovir was working for me.. I was sure a lot more active then than I am now.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
thank you
