"I first was inflicted with herpes simplex in my right eye over 35 years ago. Treatment then consisted of getting rid of the virus, including steroids, and then weaning off all meds. Much similar now, but Dr. prescribed acyclovir to protect against the reoccurrence. Ever since I started taking the drug, my eye socket aches, my eye waters, and is red, plus I get occasional hot flashes. My Dr. has cut my dose in half from 400 mg to 200 mg, but I still have the symptoms. I will go back and request an alternative medication."
