This may bore some people, but at least one purpose of this blog is selfish so I am going to keep a running diary of this experimentation with famciclovir (Famvir).
I picked up my prescription this afternoon and I am to take 250 mg twice a day for 30 days. I do have 2 refills, but I am supposed to make an appointment to see Dr. Wilkinson in 3-4 weeks.
I took the first pill this evening with dinner.
As a reminder, I am coming down off of four days of an attack building (significant brain fog, buzzing and gurgling in my ear, and exhaustion) that culminated in a mild vertigo attack last night. I started feeling really off-balance about 8pm yesterday, so I took 4 mg of diazepam (Valium) and within 30 minutes felt much better.
Today the buzzing in the ear is gone, though I have my baseline high-pitched ringing - not too loud. A little pressure is still there. And this evening I am feeling the typical imbalance that I experience after vertigo.
I also have a dull headache now, about 2 hours since taking the famciclovir. Nothing major, but I do see now that the label on the pill bottle says, "may cause headache." Coincidence? Probably.
Ready for a good night's sleep now.
