Side Effects for Acyclovir (acyclovir)

ACYCLOVIR (ACYCLOVIR): This medication is used to treat "cold sores/fever blisters" (herpes labialis). It can speed up healing of the sores and decrease symptoms (such as tingling, pain, burning, itching). Acyclovir belongs to a class of medications known as antivirals. It works by stopping the growth of the virus. This medication does not cure herpes, and it does not prevent passing the infection to someone else. It does not prevent a future occurrence.

Buspar hasn't helped me -- yet -- after 3 mos at 15mg twice/day. Was just told to increase by 5mg every 4 days till taking 30mg twice/day. Wondering what this will do?!(Still relying on Xanax to make it through the day).

This stuff should be sold as a diet aid - I normally think about food all day, but when I take this, I forget to eat. The only bad thing is the insomnia. Completely takes care of the allergy problems.

250mg twice a day. (only took two pills before I stopped) Took first pill at night and had (ear ringing/strange feeling)-that went away by the 2nd day. Had a slight headache after taking it might have been from stress though. When I woke up my body ached some and it seemed to affect my right knee, back ..felt like I could pull a muscle or strain it easily. (Basically it mostly affected areas where I've put strain on in the past and are more prone to wear out from overworking them)..however I haven't been overworking them it was the result of cipro. Then took my 2nd pill in the morning. Started to feel flu like symptoms by the end of the day and took my temperature (developing a fever).I called the pharmacist and recommended not to take anymore and to talk to my doctor. She said most people do not have these reactions. I don't know if that's true. But I recommend to pay attention to the warning. There are some common reactions like nausea headache etc that are suppose to be more common. But there is a list of things that warns you if you have them to stop taking it. And flu like/fever is definitely one of those. As of now my body aches, feels like the flu and slight fever. I am going to avoid doing physical activity until I start to feel like my body is recovering. And am just laying around in bed, not lifting heavy objects etc bc when you have this reaction (achy muscles/straining) its easy to pull something.

Taking Lamisil will make you uninsurable! My applications for indvidual health coverage has been denied by Blue Cross and Blue Shield because I took this medicine. Don't take this unless you know you will be covered by insurance for at least a year after treatment. If anyone knows the risks it's the bean counters at the insurance companies, they don't think you are free from side effects until after a year following treament! They must be basing their underwriting on something. Buyer beware!
