Guest guest Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I started the topic of antivirals a while back, but need some input. I tried acyclovir a couple of times (varying dosages) and didn't do well - got way more fluish. Started generic valacyclovir (can't remember the mfg right now, but asked pharmasist for the brand that the group recommended). I am having terrible headaches - not the ordinary ones, but ones that keep me awake at night. I cut back the dosage to 500mg daily & still have the problem (as well as slight dizziness, which is tolerable). I'm in a quandry as I know my viruses are out of control & really need an antiviral, but at the same time, I can't seem to tolerate them very well. I know my doc will tell me to quit taking them, but that leaves me still with rampant viruses. Would the brand Valtrex be worth trying - I know its very expensive, or should I be trying Famvir or anything else? Should I hang in there in hopes that things will get better? Appreciate any input!
