when I was pregnant three years ago, I took valtrex for the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy. I had a very mild outbreak when I first started taking the meds. My experience was very similar to yours except that I thought, this stuff just doesn't work. Looking back on it I wonder was the valtrex trying to kill off the virus, while my body fought a last hurrah, or maybe I was just immune to the stuff. I am starting to think though that i wasn't taking a high enough dose(not that I think anyone who is pregnant should even consider doing the 10day cure) to really kick it out of me. Anyway, I figured out that since the pills are only available in 500mg or 1g I think the best solution would be this :
500mg. 1x day
1g. 2x day
not sure if it would matter to not spread it all out so evenly, but maybe if the 1g. is taken at night it will more or less even out the dose? I will find out more, just thought I'd comment on what I've been thinking.
