Well, I've tried a bunch of herbal remedies, and the OB's have only gotten worse, so I got a script this week for Valtrex & I take 2 a day for 5 days. She gave me a total of 20, & I'm supposed to use the others only when necessary...but I plan to use them as daily suppression. I can't stand it anymore; therefore, I had to go the pharmaceutical route. :( I've used Zovirax & Valtrex in the past, and they both work fine for me.
