Re: Acyclovir and behavior changes: Help Please

[Guest guest]

Could it be bacteria? To me aggression says bacteria dredged up in

the process. And do you have yeast control, antifungal in place? Are

you on a low carb diet? We started 500-1000 mg OLE 1 month before we

started 500-1000 mg Valtrex and had aggression, weepy sad behavior

and throwing toys. We started 200 mg diflucan daily 1 week before

Valtrex and went on to Valterx with very little issue relative to

some of the stories I've read. He was OK the first week, tired then

very tired and feverish the second - third week then her started to

improve greatly.
