Guest guest Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hello group, My 5-year-old son has been on a high dose of Valtrex for year and a half (3x500mg). It has been a while since we haven't seen any more gains and we want to wean him off the medication. We have been gradually reducing the dose over more than a month looking for some signs of regression but I am afraid we might miss some signs because we don't know actually what to look for. Is it behaviour, speech, what? He is non-verbal but he has some words and phrases. Could someone of you give me a complete list of examples of regression that one could expect trying to stop the antiviral? One day he looks like his speech has regressed and the other day completely the opposite and I don't know if to continue with the lower dose, lower it even more or add back the higher one. There is one thing that worries me for sure - he calls me " mummy " but stoped saying " mummy, mummy " when crying for me, while with someone else. I mean he cries and everybody knows that he cries for me, running around the house, looking in every room for me but he doesn't say the word, as he used to. Is that a regression and could it be because of the lower dose of Valtrex? I would appreciate any comments, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
