Lysine for recurrent genital herpes? how many MG daily? I take Valtrex but honestly wanna give it a break after about a year and only use it for active outbreaks. I’ve only been taking it for about 2 mos but heard it breaks the liver down over the years (as with any other meds I’m sure). My first outbreak was mild and I’ve had an outbreak every month since I’ve been diagnosed in June. I’ve been taking Valtrex daily since beginning of August, but this month has been the worst outbreak yet. I thought they said the outbreaks would be better over time or at least while on medicine 
I honestly feel defeated, so I’m looking for more alternatives for these outbreaks and suppressors.
