Re: Acyclovir making 2 year old crazy - Help!

[Guest guest]

We're day 50+ something on (generic version)and my son's

hypersensitivity to sound is unreal today. Talked to DAN and we're

stopping valtrex to try other things and we did get the rash, etc. I

will post if the hypersentivity goes away. I had heard the

sensitivity is from the yeast or die-off but I really don't know.

It's always soemthing.
