Valtrex side effects tingling
Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex side effects tingling
valtrex
I forgot to add that I have never had a breakout/rash. There is one cut that always appears and goes away with medication. I get it every month, since being diagnosed 4 months ago :( Not too bad, but I have a partner and want to do everything in my power to stop risk of spreading.
try switching to acyclovir or famvir instead to see if either of them have less side effects for you. I myself had all sorts of issues on valtrex, even though I had take acyclovir regularly for years. I don't have the same issues while on acyclovir so I stick to that and it's 2x/day dosing for suppressive therapy. I really recommend stopping the valtrex for a month now, letting your body get a break and then trying one of the other antivirals.
Another three weeks then another outbreak. I used the Valtrex the third time and outbreak went away. Tingling went away as well. I just had another outbreak and am in the 4th day of Valtrex and the sores and pain are gone but the tingling is still there. Am I growing resistant to the Valtrex or does anyone think this will ever slow down?
sometimes even in my feet and over all weakness. The side effects of the Valtrex seem to be diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, headaches and lack of appetite. The symptoms were prevalent before beginning the Valtrex. Does this mean I was too late in starting the Valtrex or does it not help with already noticeable symptoms? and is just for suppressing symptoms before they can be noticeable? Also these symptoms have been in full force for about 3 weeks.
d try acyclovir suppressively instead of the valtrex and see if that works better for you. Even though valtrex is an acyclovir prodrug, some folks just do better on the acyclovir than they do the valtrex. My guess would be because you get less active acyclovir in your body with plain ole acyclovir than you do valtrex but we have no studies to back this assumption.
It does bother me that's why I'm asking how good does it suppress the virus?
OK. So its been nearly 2 months since I've been diagnosed with this inconvenience. Since I never had a "noticeable outbreak", every little itch or tingling that I get spooks me (The reason why I say that is because the time I had sex with my ex, I did have some tingling and 5 days later he had small blisters on his penis, so I know he contracted it from me).
Most of the side effects are dose related. Here is more information about the medication: http://www.drugs.com/topamax.html . Sometimes, dividing the dose into several doses throughout the day may help. Also taking the smallest dose you can take is best to avoid the side effects. Initially, many people have side effects, but after your body gets used to the med. it goes away (usually after a week or 2).
I experience tingling in my fingers after taking Valtrex (500 mg) daily. I also feel tingling down below. I contracted NSV-2 in August. The blisters went away within 2 weeks, but the redness, burning sensation remained. Physician Assistant recommended the Zorivax cream (5% alcylovir cream). Didn't know it is not really recommened for genital herpes except maybe the first one and should not be put on the sores!
After so much reading, I learned that the medication causes these side effects and it could also be shedding. Now I feel like I should take the blood test to be 100% sure. But is a blood test 100% proof?
I am going crazy and I am afraid. My partner said he does not have herpes and I don't remember seeing a cold sore on his lips. He remains supportive, but I am afraid to have sex again because of this shedding or Valtrex side effect. Any advice would help.
I was experiencing a lot of burning, a very swollen and red area on the left side of my labia, and shooting pain. An urgent care doctor swab bed me within 36 hours of the red area appearing. She put me on Valtrex 500mg/day. I noticed no relief and stopped when she told me the swab was negative. I had the same symptoms a month later right before my period. That time I went to my gyn. No redness or swelling, but the same burning and shooting pain. I tested 3.67 IGG for hsv1.
On day 7 of my course of Valtrex, the sore was still there, and still, clearly active and I began to feel tingling on the side of my mouth, around my mouth, inside it. I have not felt this tingling sensation before but I hear it indicates that more cold sores are going to erupt. My doctor gave me another course of Valtrex. So now I am on day 8 of Valtrex and applying Abreeva to my mouth and I worry that I am going to break out again, but on the mouth.
What is worrying me know is the testicle pain on the right side with inguinal and hip pain. I still get tingling in the tip of my penis as well as tenderness to a my glans off and on.
My sexual situation was unprotected and teeth caused an iritation that I felt for a couple of days.
So I still have a Red scrotum, no electricity feeling and noticed this morning a pin point Purpleish dot on my scrotum. I definatley have something going on.
