Valtrex - Just started - Side effects

[A_Tony]

I have just started Valtrex 1 per day, 500mg.

I was wondering if anyone else who has started this treament for suppression has noticed any side effects such as pain in the lower legs or anything else?

Also did the side effects go away in time?

Thanks.

whats a herpes WB?  Thats a westerm Blot?? I thought those are used only if your are equalvocal or the results are uncleaer. I went off it when my blood test at 17.5 weeks was negative. After 10 days I started getting this burning/pain down on my penis and I was having trouble sleeping so I went back on it and i think it took care of that.....it seemed go away after that at least.

You shouldn't be taking valtrex at this point. Your tests have been all negative.  I recommend stopping it for 2 months, getting yourself a herpes WB and then moving on from the possibility of herpes if it's negative.

Noclue, aren't you the obsessive who doesn't have herpes? Why do you take Valtrex?

I am on valtrex and i have been getting tingling in the body. I wonder if its from that? I was on levaquin earlier and i heard that is a side effect so I am not sure what its from.
