Can anybody share information about dose of Valtrex?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody,

I'm new to this forum. Start to read from the beginning of the

posts.....learning a lot. I'll appreciate if anybody will share your experience

with dose of Valtrex. My son is 15 yrs. and 110 lbs. He has language disorder

and CFS. His blood test showed EBV, CMV, Herpes, etc. His doctor prescribed

him Valtrex 500mg x2 per day and I feel the dose is too low for his weight. Can

anybody share your experience with Valtrex - dose & weight, die-off symptoms and

effects.

Thank you very much!

When my son was on valtrex, he was 83 lbs, and got 500mg 3X/day.

The die off was immediate: the next day, he was ghastly ill, for about

a month. This was our start, 1.5 years ago. He has only gotten

healthier, more alert sine then. But, the beginning was the most profound.

Can anybody share information about dose of Valtrex?

My teenage son (105 pounds) is taking 800 mg. 5 times a day (per Dr. G).

Hi Caroline,

Thank you very much for your reply. My son started 500 mg x 3 for 10 days, 750

mg x 3 for 5 days and 1000 mg x3 for 3 days. Today is 19th day. He's been

sleeping 16 hrs. for the last few days and today he just got up at 4:00 pm ate

something and went back to sleep. I got really scared. I guess I have to let

him skip a day and lower the dose afterwards. Since Dr. G. put your son on 4000

mg daily, I guess 3000 mg daily for my son won't do much harm. Really

appreciate your post!!!

May I know how many days you son has taken Valtrex and what is his reaction?

Thank you very much again!

Hi Caroline,

My earlier mail didn't get posted, I am rewriting.

I'd like to thank you very much for your post. My son's dose has been up (from

500 x 2) to 1000 mg x 3. For the past 4 day, he has been sleeping 16 + hrs. a

day which really worried me. I was afraid that the dose was too high, but if

it's not high enough, it may not kick up the virus. Today is 20th day on

Valtrex, I haven't see anything positive, only long hours of sleep. I am very

anxious and scared to see any die-offs

How is your son doing on 800 mg x5 a day? Have you seen any positives or

die-offs?

Thank you again for your posting!

Hi Caroline,

Thank you very much for your post. My son sleeps whole day and night

(gets up for 2 meals) at the dose of 1000 mg x3. What is your son's

reaction at the dose of 4000 mg a day? How long has he had it? How

long Dr. G. wants him to be on?

I am very anxious every day...... scared of die-off reactions. How are

you feeling?

Thanks again!

Lucy

I posted twice earlier...... don't know why them didn't get posted.

Lucy, Die-off = good! Don't be afraid to supplement with some Ibuprofen to keep

him more comfortable and don't expect too much from him, as if he were sick. My

daughter had die-off and she came out clearer and so much better than before!
