Question:
Hey Everyone,

I was just diagnosed with HSV 2. I am terrified and just heartbroken....i had a horrible outbreak and tried to clear it up without any meds but it just seemed like it wanted to get worse so I have been taken acyclovir. I was told to do it for 5 days, twice a day 800 mg. I read online that rebounds can occur if you stop taking acyclovir so I am terrified that I will get another outbreak again....I also have an anal fissure which the bastards have congregated over as well...it's an awful mess and I just want it to stop...but I've been on acyclovir for almost 10 days now because I'm afraid to stop...I am so ashamed that I just can't tell my naturopath about it....I don't know what to do...

any advice about this...should i take half dosage for awhile or just stop cold????

Answer:
Just wanted to step in here and ask some questions about the acyclovir. I have had the 5 days of 800mg two times followed by 3 months of 400mg and now have another lot of the 3 months which the Doc says I can stay on indefinitely!!! So I got more outbreaks after and even one during the acyclovir.

How are you going with it Tralala?

What are other sufferers experiences with it?
