Acyclovir. You take that on an ongoing basis? I would be afraid of the affects on my liver. I use the Gabapentin and ValCYCLOVIR ALSO WHEN i HAVE A BREAKOUT, IT (sorry hit the cap button) does seem to lessen the time and pain if I start taking it as soon as I feel a breakout is going to happen. Lets hope we both have less breakouts!
