| 3 | outbreak in lip and genital | the first pill cause numbness immediately in my left arm and joint pain in the wrist by day two I have severe swelling(bright red hot skin) and tight skin on both legs. Nausea, loss of appetite, blurred vision, headache, dry mouth, back pain, insomnia, restlessness. I have noticed the pain in my sores have decreased but I also feel like ive been hit by a bus. im only on day 3 and I really hope I never have to take this awful drug again because this pain is horrible and the heartburn is the worse | F | 33 | 5 days 400 2X day | 7/19/2015 | 5 | Eczema herpeticum | None | A literal life saver. Eczema Herpeticum is a nasty illness and was only getting worse without treatment. | M | 28 | 14 days 400mg 3X day | 7/18/2015 | 5 | HSV-2 | Blurred vision, mild lower back pain | Stuff works amazing!!, i got diagnosed with HSV-2 about 2 years ago. I always dealt with outbreaks constantly. I seemed to always get them on my kneecap and below the shaft of my penis which generally speaking hurt extremely bad! I would get swollen lymph nodes in my groin and feel extremley tired before an outbreak would occur. Acyclovir cleared a bad outbreak up in the matter of 3 days! Totally worth it if you ask me! | M | 24 | 10 days 400mg 5X day | 7/4/2015 | 5 | Genital hsv-1 | No noticeable side effects | I was taking Valtrex for nearly six months at different dosages and it barely taking away any of my symptoms so finally I decided to go with a different medications and even through the first few days of taking this I can already tell that it is working much better than any other treatments I was recieving. With my constant unending breakouts and symptoms I thought that I would have to deal with this bull for the rest of my life, but it seems that things are becoming better. Seriously good luck and if you're having any trouble have no fear in speaking to your doctor about it. I know I did, but that's their job and if they don't like it dump them and find a new one. Good luck. | F | 18 | 4 days 3 daily | 6/1/2015 | 2 | shingles | I feel so ill, ive only taken 1 tablet, ive left it for 6 hours to take another one.
