there is nothing "typical" or predictable about herpes or the antiviral drugs that are used to suppress outbreaks. every person and their response to herpes and suppressant medictions is different. you have stopped taking your acyclovir so you may know those answers as they pretain to you.
what happens if i stop taking suppressive acyclovir? . i have been taking 400 mg of acyclovir 2x/day for 3 years to prevent my bf from getting herpes. prior to that i had about 1 outbreak/yr and it was very mild (only one bump typically). we are trying to conceive so i stopped taking it about 10 days ago but i am scared that i am getting an outbreak and afraid that if i stop i'm going to get frequent outbreaks. what typically happens when someone stops taking acyclovir? do outbreaks often come back worse than before? .
