@WCSDancer2010 Thank you for the advice! I will try that. I know it's just a matter of time before I have to deal with the blisters again, just hoping it's not as bad as my initial outbreak.

I was diagnosed with hsv2 at the end of November. My first outbreak lasted 2 weeks, the dr prescribed me 1 gram of valtrex twice a day for 10 days. After my follow up appointment, I had another prescription filled so I could have it on hand for next time. This prescription was for 1 gram 3x a day for 7 days. The dr told me to take it on the first onset of symptoms. Last week I started having prodrome symptoms- tingling, burning, & itching. I waited a day and the symptoms got worse. I started taking the valtrex but decided to take it 2x a day like my initial outbreak. My prodrome symptoms are gone and I never developed any blisters. My question is, can I stop taking the valtrex and save the rest of the pills for when I have another outbreak or should I continue taking them until the pills are gone? I'm still trying to figure all of this out. I didn't know if I needed to take the full prescription like I would an antibiotic or if I can save the other 10 pills for when I really need them. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
