2 | Genital Herpes | No side effects but I still have several outbreaks each month so I'm not sure it's worthwhile taking it. I'm trying to research whether I can increase the dosage I am taking (250 mg twice a day) | F | 53 | 6 months | 3/15/2006 | 5 | genital herpes | ringing in ears, may hav low back pain - could be due to other cause. other than these, no problems | it has been a god send. had an outbreak on vacation w/ no famvir and it was awful for 2 weeks. next outbreak, had famvir and it stopped fatigue, pain and discomfort within 3 days. went @ 11 yrs without outbreak, in menopause having many. | F | 56 | 20 weeks | 11/27/2005 | 5 | neuralgias asso w nasal cold sores | none | It offset the accute neuralgia symptoms, but most surprisingly, it also had a general positive effect on the everyday aches and pains that I did not associate with herpes. I have tried to contact the mfgr with no luck. VERY EXPENSIVE! No long term information available. | M | 52 | 2 years | 11/7/2005 | 3 | shingles | headache, fatigue, | had high blood pressure when I initially went in with symptoms. Have never had high blood pressure before. The high blood pressure has continued throughout the week I have been on the medication. | F | 46 | 7 days | 3/26/2005 | 3 | herpes | none | best i can tell, it will reduce length of outbreak only if taken at first tingle. So, instead of 8 days of sores and healing, maybe only 4 days. I only take when i feel a tingle, rather than daily. | M | 38 | 5 years | 12/22/2002 | 5 | | 12/14/2002 |
