Q: valtrex

I have been on valtrex off and on sence the third week of feb. They only give me 3 day's worth of valtrex a week. Is that why I still haven't heeled up? My doctor say's I should of heeled up by now and he's saying I have herpie's type 1 but I thought if they were down below it had to be genitals'??

thats very weird. when i was first diagnosed with genital herpes they put me on valtrez i took 1 pill a day for 10 days. it went away by the 7th day. then they said i prolly wont break out again for a while. lie. i broke out the next week very badly and painful. they gave me a lower dosage of valtrex for less time i think 3 days. which didnt seem right. still didnt go away. and i do alot of movement with workin 2 jobs so i really needed something because i missed alot of work not bein able to move. so they gave me this cream. works wonders. it numbs everything down there =] lol but now i take the pill everyday.

 

you might want to call and tell them you want to take the 1 valtrex pill everyday; cause nothing is working. and if he is sayin you should have heeled up why isnt he prescribing you anything else?
