What do I do?

I am infected with herpes and I don't have any idea what to do. I have been to the doctor and I recieved the dose of valtex but I haven't been back. First because i don't have the money to afford the drug and secondly I have been taking lysine and zinc as a supplement. My question to you is do you think these supplements will work almost as good a the valtrex itself? I've only had one other outbreak other than my first.

Also I don't think you will find much better then valtrex.  Valtrex does have a generic out.  You may want to look into that.

Where? Oral or genital? Lysine is generally for oral herpes...
