    3000mg a day. I take the expensive brand name Valtrex. Luckily my insurance covers most of it.

    That's what I'm taking but Valcyclovir.

    Do you know the manufacturer? I learned here some that seemed to better than others.

    I requested the manufacturer Northstar. The one they were getting it from was Mylan. My dr's script had to state specifically the manufacturer.

    There's a thread that discussed manufacturers. People seemed to have a better success rate with Northstar and the exact opposite with Mylan. ( I hope I spelled that right )

    In Canada you do not get to choose brands unfortunately. There is no brand even in the label.

    If you call the pharmacy they should know. I never thought about anything to do with manufacturing but I found the info here and luckily my Dr knew how to write the script requesting that manufacturer. I'm sorry if you can't check or change it.

    That is amazing. And so true. So true.
    I would expect no less from Elizabeth Taylor

    And I have felt what she is saying.

    Very profound.

    If I can make it to my bedroom I just lay on my side. Staring at something does not help me. I need to keep my eyes closed until I can get up. Luckily I have only had to crawl to the bathroom to vomit only twice. But this is still relatively new to me. I just started 9 months ago.

    I get on the floor and close my eyes with a bucket next to me and try to take valium under my tongue before it gets bad and pray like crazy it will not last long.

    Oh my gosh ... thank you for sharing that. That violent throwing up and peeing on myself happened to me as well. What a horrible feeling to have my body be that out of control! Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy -- but it is good to know I'm not alone!
