valtrex

Avatar n tn As such I contacted my doctor and was prescribed valacyclovir hcl which I took (2 1 gram tablets twice daily). The cold sore remained small and eventually went away. After this I went 1-2 days without taking any Lysine or valacyclovir and on the second day I noticed the cold sore coming back again and now appears to have come back and crusted over. I did not think the new cold sore was actually one but then it crusted over.
Avatar n tn Due to high fever, i went to er , they did a test for herpes and called me and said I have it. They prescribed. valacyclovir hcl. I just started taking it today. I read that this can be common with people who have aids. I have not had unprotected sex deliberately but condom broke. I had a steady girlfriend but broke up one. I am scared to death that I have aids.
Avatar f tn Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant which is also indicated in diabetic neuropathy. Common side effects are dizziness, ataxia, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, joint pain, motion sickness etc. You must tell your physician if you are allergic to valacyclovir or acyclovir. any kidney disease, blood disorders, immune deficiencies, dizziness etc. side effects associated are nausea, vomiting, fatigue, sore throat, hemolytic uremic syndrome etc.
Avatar n tn Valacyclovir is not known to cause side effects like this. Some people claim herpes itself can cause such symptoms, but most experts disagree -- and anyway such symptoms are not likely to be worsening as the herpes sores themselves are improving with treatment. You should discuss this with your doctor and follow his or her advice about it. Good luck!
Avatar m tn I started suppression famciclovir over the weekend and had diahhrria 5 times the next day. Has this happend to anyoone else? Please share your side effects of any other meds or meds that gave no side effects. I have to call the doc and get something else.
Avatar m tn you can discuss with your doctor about starting only half the starting dose initially to give you some assurance of its side effects. paxil can be sedating so most people take it at night. the top 3 side effects are headahces, nausea and sexual dysfunction. all of these resolve over time as the body becomes accustomed to the new medication.
Avatar m tn I already know how the medicine is suppose to work,what I wanted to know is how safe it is to take long term,or at all.I read all the side effects and I am not sure I want to try it.It scares me,one of the side effects is to your heart,and I read on line of people dying from it.Need more info.
Avatar m tn I am having some severe side effects concerning short term memory loss, irritability, and fatigue. I have taken Ibuprofen 800mg, nortriptyline HCL 25mg, promethazine 25mg, acetaminophen COD#3, cycmbalta 30mg, pamelor 25mg, cyclobenzarrine 10mg, hydrocodone 500mg, methycprednisolone 4mg, tramadol HCL 50 mg, and viagra 100mg. My question is will any of the medications i was subscribed or taken in combination have symptons of severe memory loss?
Avatar m tn I believe she was on valacyclovir, I looked up some of the side effects and a few of the side effects I mentioned were listed. She did have a headache as well, no noticeable fever though. This is the first outbreak she has had, she has also not had sex in about two years. I understand that she could have had it previously and it was lying dormant. I think it seems a little naive to believe that this just so happened to pop up after she was assaulted.
Avatar m tn I'm not sure that I understand your response. 1. I think that you meant to say that "experience tells us that when people ?quit? taking the valacyclovir, they sometimes do have an outbreak soon after that." This is my concern, that the valacyclovir takes over and that the body's immune response is less engaged in fighting the infection. Do you see what I mean? 2.
Avatar n tn It is 500 MG Valacyclovir HCL. My b12 was 238. I had burning hands and arms on June6. Started taking medication on June 13 and stopped yesterday as I did not feel right taking it. I have been doctor 4 times total since being infected. My 8.5 week Elisa was negative. I think you just answered my question. The central nervous system is that part of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord.
Avatar m tn No long term side effects from being on them. If you are going to bother to take antivirals, take the right dose so that it's actually working.
Avatar f tn Can you tell me about its side effects? Recently I went for a checkup and my doctor gave me Metformin for weight loss (It suddently went up to 99 kg though I was at 85 before and was following a strict diet plan). I don't have diabetes and I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS, and I think Metformin is generally used for these two issues. So I'm concened whether I should really be Metformin. Can it mess up my insulin system?
Avatar m tn I was on PPIs for 3 months and was taking 20 mg 2x a day, it gave me a whole bunch of side effects , the worst being severe stomach pain. I always felt like I didnt need to be on them. I find that people with high HCL tend to be bigger/fatter, Im thin. The only problem now is,... where and how can I convince my doctor to let me get this Heidelberg pH diagnostic test done. My doctor(s) kinda haev big egos and always reject my ideas and requests for testing.

Avatar m tn lots of psyc drugs cause nasty side effects and nasty withdrawls. Ive been on zoloft for five years and have liked it because for me it had no side effects. these meds react with people differently. I have GAD and am getting off zoloft bc I need something stronger but it helped with low- moderate anxiety and my depression.
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. The last thing you need right now is another outbreak, and stopping antivirals can trigger an ob. I can't advise you on the amiltriptiline. If it's not working, maybe you shouldn't continue it, but PLEASE talk to your doctor before stopping it.
