Day 2 of Valtrex......Have ????'s

[Guest guest]

Hi Listmates,

Well, I started my son on Valtrex yesterday!! I'm so excited to

finally start. Anyway, I wanted to start slow on the dosage & work my

way up. Does this sound right? Or should I just start at full

dosage? I have 500mg tablets, I cut them into 4 quarters (125 mg

each. (I washed them first) Yesterday I gave him 1 quarter in the

morning & 1 quarter in the evening. He woke up at 2:30 am and never

went back to sleep. He was WIDE awake! His cheeks are BRIGHT red but

he's in a good mood. Does this sound like it's already working?

Should I keep at this dose for a few days & then slowly increase? I'm

just worried about doing it too fast. Any thoughts would be much

appreciated.

Thank you,
