I was diagnosed w hsv 1 genitally in february...my initial acyclovir dose was 800mg three.times a day..I had a pretty bad first ob...since then ive been on a suppressive does of 400mg a day......now just got thru my second ob last week...so I took three a day of the 400mg. Now im back to my suppressive dose. Two days ago something weird hit me fast and hard...chills..aches..headache...lightheadedness..and a non itchy rash on the sides of my tummy. Im scared. I made an appointment to see my primary dr on tuesday. Im worried its due to acyclovir. Anyone experienced this before? Sound familiar? Any comments will help...thank u!

Have you had Chicken Pox? Almost sounds like Shingles, which is yet another kind of Herpes virus ....

 

Otherwise it *could* be a reaction ...best to get it checked out ...

I take valacyclovir (the generic brand of acyclovir) daily (once a day), and have been for over a year now. I haven't had any issues being on it. Whenever I get sick my doctor tells me to make sure I don't miss doses because it can help since it's an anti-viral medicine, and most sicknesses are viral infections.

 

Everyone does react differently to everything, but I hope what you are experiencing isn't a reaction to the medicine. If it is, I believe there are different ones out there you can try too. Hope you feel better!

 

Best wishes.
