as far as i know there is NO generic for valtrex on the market yet. the chemical drug name is valacyclovir and it is possible that when your MD wrote the RX, he put the drug name. at this point those drugs

should be one and the same.

my dd was on valacyclovir for 2 years because it was a liquid. I was always told it was acyclovir, which if I understand, is not as strong as valtrex, and must be dosed every 6 hours. we switched to valtrex in pill form when she learned to swallow and have had good success. just my experience.

No, acyclovir is Zovirax and valacyclovir is Valtrex.  I don't think one is any stronger than the other (but I don't know that for certain).  My son has been on 3 different antivirals already and we started off with Valtrex.  We saw gains (and continue to see gains with antivirals) but the titers didn't go down.  The titers haven't gone down with any of the antivirals.cherylmy dd was on valacyclovir for 2 years because it was a liquid.  I was always told it was acyclovir, which if I understand, is not as strong as valtrex, and must be dosed every 6 hours.  we switched to valtrex in pill form when she learned to swallow and have had good success.just my experience. HTH,LoriJavaNut418aol wrote:as far as i know there is NO generic for valtrex on the market yet.  the chemical drug name is valacyclovir and it is possible that when your MD wrote the RX, he put the drug name.  at this point those drugsshould be one and the same. tCheck out AOL Money Finance's list of the hottest products and top money wasters of 2007.

Thanks, I should have really put that together myself. See, I still learn something new every day! FWIW, our titers haven't gone down either, but I swear that without antivirals we'd be in a whole different place. LoriCheryl Lowrance wrote: No, acyclovir is Zovirax and valacyclovir is Valtrex.

My son is now 4 and he's been on antivirals for a year.  No, I don't think he will need to be on them for the rest of his life and we are seeing huge gains - we just aren't seeing the titers go down.  We just need to find the combination to the lock.  Like Lori siad, we would be in whole different place without them.  His EBV titers are slowly starting to go down but his HHV6 titers are not budging.  I believe my sons chances for complete recovery are very good because he's already well on his way.  Currently, he wouldn't qualify for an autism dx anymore if I were to take him to someone new and not said a word about his past behaviors.We will continue to work on getting his titers down - all the cards are not played yet!  There's always somewhere else to go.  We just moved on to IMIG (and still taking zovirax) and we will test titers again.  Once we do that, if they still aren't down, we will more than likely add isoprinosine.  After that, I don't know what the next step is as we haven't gotten that far in our conversations but we will more than likely have more places to go with treatment.  I'm not in the least bit concerned (okay, maybe just a tiny bit!).  It's really nothing I'm worried about right now.  He's doing great and that's all that matters.CherylHow old is your son now, and what does your doctor say about his chances for a complete recovery if the titers do not change though you see gains?

Never give up there is always another discovery that will help our children to recover and maybe even be totally "cured" (no needed protocol) Remember prayer works wonders as well. May God bless you and be with you. Ask in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

We will continue to work on getting his titers down - all the cards are not played yet! There's always somewhere else to go. We just moved on to IMIG (and still taking zovirax) and we will test titers again. Once we do that, if they still aren't down, we will more than likely add isoprinosine. After that, I don't know what the next step is as we haven't gotten that far in our conversations but we will more than likely have more places to go with treatment. I'm not in the least bit concerned (okay, maybe just a tiny bit!). It's really nothing I'm worried about right now. He's doing great and that's all that matters.

You may want to try adding enzymes to help you get the

titers to go down. Virastop by enzymedica may be one

you want to try. The enzymes seem to break down the

protein wall of the virus and then the antiviral can

get the virus. Easy to try.....IMHO.

Thank you, it is great!  He actually stopped qualifying for the dx just before leaving EI.  He might have been borderline then if he would qualify.  I do know that he didn't register on CARS when we left.  But since starting our protocol, he's made *huge* gains.  He does still have issues, though.  Just not nearly enough to get him autism dx.  I'm not sure what he would get now.  I don't really think he would get PDD/NOS, either.  I think it would probably be more along the lines of expressive/receptive language disorder and add/adhd.cherylGreat news on your son Cheryl!Bunny> > > > as far as i know there is NO generic for valtrex on the market> > > > yet. the chemical drug name is valacyclovir and it is possible> > > > that when your MD wrote the RX, he put the drug name. at this> > > > point those drugs> > > > should be one and the same.> > > >> > > > t> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > > Check out AOL Money Finance's list of the hottest products and> > top> > > > money wasters of 2007.> > > >> > > >> > > >> > >> >> >> >>

I would but currently our doc is not into enzymes.  I will probably ask him about it again, though in context of breaking down the protein walls of virals.cherylYou may want to try adding enzymes to help you get thetiters to go down.
