Joint pain

I got diagnosed with hsv2 last fall. After continual outbreaks my doc finally put me on suppression therapy. I've had weight gain depression and now joint pain. It's a 6 month dose and one month to go. Does the joint pain go away after dosage is done? Does the weight come off? I exercise regularly and eat properly. Depression I know is a mental battle. I just don't like the joint pain as I'm trying to get this weight off.

Sorry, I misunderstood your point.

No herpes drug causes depression or weight gain. But if you or your doctor think it's possible, discuss stopping the drug for a few weeks and see if those problems improve. But I doubt it will make any difference.

Herpes doesn't cause joint pain. You'll need to work with your doctor to diagnose the cause of this symptom. Good luck.
