I have herpes 1 & 2. Haven't had a breakout in over a year. 2 weeks ago i met someone who i thought I would eventually become intimate SO i started taking valacyclovir daily. this morning i notice 1 pimple. why would i start to breakout only after i take valacyclovir?
Are you sure it's an ob? It's possible that since your body was dealing with the virus fine on it's own the unfamiliar affect of the drug messed up your bodies natural balance
@Davii hi davii,…i think you may be right. this is the second time i went on valacyclovir as preventive because i thought i was going to be intimate and got a few pimples. i was clean for over a year. i ate extremely healthy and took vitamins. maybe i did mess up my bodies natural balance. ty
i don't think it's the meds but I'm not an expert. Is it the first time you're taking it?
@Janieeeee hi janieeeee…this is not the first time i’m taking valtrex. i had 3 out breaks in the last 3 years. i stopped dating but then i got so lonely i decided to date again so as a preventative measure i started taking valtrex and after a week i saw 1 pimple. none today. maybe i did upset my bodies natural balance. i dated for 1 week and it didn’t work out so now i stopped taking the drug. i just don’t want to infect someone.
