Have you tried any of these herpes antivirals? If so, did they work

the flare up problem? Write me and let me know, k?
Acyclovir -
an antiviral drug that
slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can
fight off the infection. Acyclovir lessens the symptoms of these
infections and shortens the length of time you are sick. Acyclovir is
used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses. Illnesses caused by
herpes viruses include genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chicken
pox. Acyclovir is also much cheaper than Valtrex. It might not be as
convenient to take as Valtrex is but it sure does beat the high cost of
Valtrex when you don't have insurance coverage.
Acyclovir, have
you tried it?
Famciclovir (Famvir)
- When I was first diagnosed with herpes I tried Famvir right
after about a week of taking Zovirax. I think my doctor prescribed that
to me because I only had to take it twice daily instead of five times a
day like I did with Zovirax. It worked pretty well. Eventually after
comparing it to Valtrex I decided that Valtrex worked much faster when
it came to getting rid of outbreaks. -

for Famvir to treat herpes. Tell us what you think of it if you have
tried it.
Valacyclovir
(Valtrex) - Eventually I did decide to go on suppressive
therapy and picked Valtrex because as I stated earlier ~ for me it
worked quickly. I was on suppressive therapy taking only 500 mg of
Valtrex daily. I did this for two years and it worked great!! Not
getting any outbreaks helped me to feel somewhat normal again. It's nice
when there are no reminders that you have herpes which ultimately is
what having an outbreaks always tend to remind people of, right? ;) Now
I did stop suppressive therapy eventually and haven't been on it since
the spring of 2001. The only time I have had to go back on it is during
the last six weeks of my pregnancy to try and prevent a herpes outbreak
from taking place during labor and delivery. It worked well!!
Valtrex, have you
tried it?
Valtrex
Commercials - I am probably the worlds biggest fan of the
Valtrex Commercial. Why? Because they get people talking about Herpes no
matter how you want to look at them. I have seen enough Valtrex
commercials to see just how much the public is being educated on herpes.
It kinda makes you wonder exactly which people are noticing them
though.. You know how it is when you aren't pregnant and you don't
really pay attention to the baby commercials and then once you become
pregnant you think that diapers have taken over your living room? I have
to wonder if it's the same with people that have herpes vs. people that
don't know any better about herpes. I think maybe it's those that have
herpes that have a tendency to complain the most about the Valtrex
commercial. Now the ones that complain about these commercials that
don't know their status are just looking for something to write about OR
they just want to stir the pot. What do you think?

Zovirax
- Now that is a herpes antiviral that is downright a pain in the
butt!! The reason I say that is because that is the medicine that the
clinic I went to gave me at first. You have to take that stuff like five
or six times a day and it was really hard for me to figure out how to
divide my day up. Thank goodness the doctor I went back to for my follow
up switched me to Famvir and then eventually to Valtrex. -
Tell
us what you think of Zovirax.
Alternative
Herpes Treatments - I want to know what you are taking to treat your herpes outbreaks.
Are you taking a clinically proven herpes antiviral OR are you
taking something that you might have found over the counter.
Everybody has different reasons for taking different things and no
two situations are going to be exactly alike. With this in mind, I
would LOVE to know why you chose the OTC med that you picked and
why? - Thanks!
Other Treatments - Ok, let's face it. Everybody has their
home made alternative remedies that they use to treat different
things that pop up. I know there are remedies out there that people
have put together or tried to treat their herpes outbreaks. If you
have a recipe that somebody can cook up in the kitchen that you have
used to treat your herpes outbreaks I would LOVE to hear about it.
Thanks! ;)
