Thanks!! I love your humour!!
if alcohol was an issue with herpes antivirals, I would not be nearly as pleasant in my replies to posters ;)
Hi again,
Good also to learn Valtrex and Valacyclovir are the same, thank you. Grace, I was just reading up on it and it said to not take with alcohol, or at least to reduce my alcohol.
I was in a bit of a funk when I was recently laid of my job and I did some excess drinking for a couple weeks. I am certain now that could have attributed to my outbreak, but I am curious how alcohol consumption does reduce the effects of not only Valtrex but of anti-depressants too.
Does alcohol affect your immune system and make you more vulnerable?
Thanks again for your help.
Thank you so much. I'm so shocked to realize how lucky I've been. Wow, I hope it continues and it's similar for others.
Much appreciation, Grace, for your expertise.
Cheers!
you will have ob's even while on suppressive therapy. it's just been pure luck that you haven't had any in the last 4 years actually!!!!
valacyclovir and valtrex are the exact same medication.
