| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 5 | HSV 2 | Dizziness, headache, chills, sweats, irritable to people and noise, loss of concentration, extreme depression, extreme anxiety | Bumps and tingling started and about two days later my doc put me on 500MG 2 times daily for 3 days. Miracle Drug, i soaked in baths every couple days which helped a lot. The bumps went away and now I take it 1x daily at 500MG because I have had only 3 breakouts, 1 month apart! Side effects suck so I am going to try to take half every night and see how that goes. Definitely is worth taking during an outbreak, but everyday I don't know so much. I also take lithium for bi-polar so I don't know if this Valtrex effects that at all. | F | 24 | 3 weeks 500 MG 1X D | 9/29/2014 | |
| 4 | HSV 2 | dizziness, headache, cncentration | This really works. I cut my pills in half helped with most negative effects and taken once at nighttime. I get bumps around period time and swollen neck so I tend to take 500 during these times. I dont break out as frequently nor do i notice them coming. Hot water/baths help a lot during a breakout a bump or two. no more wearing tight underwear for that seems to upset my area. | F | 25 | 5 months 250 MG 1X D | 2/5/2015 | |
