Avatar n tn One day, it appeared 1 vesicule on each side of the labia minora (entrance of the vagina). The vesicules bursted and after, the lesions seemed like an ulcer on my skin of maximum 1 cm. The lesions were yellowish, greenish. 4 days after I had notice the first vesicule, I went to see the doctor (the vesicule had bursted). He told me: "It seems like herpes, but it's not herpes." So to be sure, he did a swab test that came back negative. He prescribed me famciclovir.

Avatar f tn Famvir and famciclovir are the same thing, as are Valtrex and Valacyclovir. One is the brand name, one is the generic. I'd stay on the valacyclovir.

If it's not working, maybe you shouldn't continue it, but PLEASE talk to your doctor before stopping it.

Avatar n tn Hi. I am on week 60/72, second round of treatment. I was really really sick after shot for first few months and then this resolved and became tolerable at least. I now find that I am having these same significant side effects later in tx. This didn't happen last round, but I went 48 then. Anyone else have this happen?

Avatar n tn Hi there, Thank you for writing to us here, though I am sorry that you are struggling with side effects from the result of breast cancer medication. I am also a breast cancer survivor, however as I am triple negative, the hormonal drugs are not effective for me so unfortunately I cant speak from experience. However, that doesn't mean that I cant find out some interesting information for you in relation to libido and Arimidex.

1151493 tn?1263336020 All this depression and self confidence issues ARE related to the side effects. Which scares me to death because I haven't had luck going down to less than the 4mg. Thank you for your response. XXXXxxxx.
Avatar f tn Has anybody gotten a stuffy head and "funny feeling" eyes as a side effect from SSRI's. I have had these side effects before but they went away after a month or so. I'm on Celexa and this stuffy feeling(like you are coming down with a cold) seems to be sticking with me. The med is working well except for this uncomfortable feeling in and around my eyes.
