Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Caroline, Is the Zovirax specifically for fighting HHV6? My son is taking Lamictal and Keppra for his seizures and I found somewhere that lamictal (and depakene) is also used for fighting the HHV6 virus. However, it only fights against HHV-6B but not HHV-6A. http://www.vasera.org/treatment.html My child's neurologist and I are working on increasing the lamictal and decreasing the Keppra since the Keppra is causing tics and aggression. All the best, Jill From: Caroline Glover <sfglover@...> Subject: Re: hhv6 Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 8:11 PM My son is a patient of Dr. G . He weighs 48 lbs. and takes Zovirax (5 times a day)... 400mg in the morning, 300mg three times in the middle of the day, 400mg at night. (This is another antiviral Dr. G. uses). (We split the pills).
